Imbalance of Ecosystems and Its effect on Public and Livestock health

Dr.Kedar Karki M.V.St. (Preventive veterinary Medicine)

The health of humans, like all living organisms, is dependent on an ecosystem that sustains life. Healthy ecosystems are the sine qua non for healthy organisms. Yet there is abundant evidence that many life-support systems are far from healthy, placing an increased burden on human health. In some areas of the world, gains in life expectancy and quality of life made during the twentieth century are at risk of being reversed in the twenty-first century. The consequences of ecosystem degradation to human health are numerous, and include health risks from unsafe drinking water, polluted air, climate change, emerging new diseases, and the resurgence of old diseases owing to ecological imbalances. Reversing this damage is possible in some cases, but not in others. Prevention of ecological damage is by far the most efficient strategy.

DEFINING ECOSYSTEMS

An ecological system may be defined as a community of plants and animals interacting with each other and their abiotic, or natural, environment. Typically, ecosystems are differentiated on the basis of dominant vegetation, topography, climate, or some other criteria. Boreal forests, for example, are characterized by the predominance of coniferous trees; prairies are characterized by the predominance of grasses; the Arctic tundra is determined partly by the harsh climatic zone. In most areas of the world, the human community is an important and often dominant component of the ecosystem. Ecosystems include not only natural areas (e.g., forests, lakes, marine coastal systems) but also human-constructed systems (e.g., urban ecosystems, agro-ecosystems, impoundments). Human populations are increasingly concentrated in urban ecosystems, and it is estimated that, by the year 2010, 50 percent of the world’s population will be living in urban areas.

Landrieu is one of a handful of centrist Democrats reluctant to support the plan to revamp the $2.5 trillion U.S. healthcare industry, the top priority in President Barack Obama’s domestic agenda.

And she faces a tough choice: defy the wishes of her party on a legislative priority central to Obama’s promise of change, or defy the wishes of voters in her home state of Louisiana who are hostile to the proposals.

“Obama is very unpopular in the Deep South … and all of his legislation is unpopular,” said Bernie Pinsonat a pollster with Southern Media and Opinion Research, a survey company based in Louisiana’s state capital Baton Rouge.

“If she votes for this it will drag her down,” he said.

Holistic remedies help thousands of people worldwide to overcome problems ranging from more serious diseases to the common cold. Holistic Therapist Nitchara Yimsuk answers some frequently asked questions, and tips us off about a versatile treatment called moxibustion.

What does holistic mean?

In holistic treatments we look at the whole person – physical, emotional and spiritual – rather than just treating the symptoms of the problem. We consider a person’s mind and body, diet and exercise, lifestyle and relationships, work and leisure, achievements and problems. Imbalances in any of these areas can contribute to illness.

Facts On Alabama Health Insurance

When it comes to health insurance, Alabama doesn’t really come to mind. The more popular association to Alabama, perhaps, is a Hollywood movie or two with the word Alabama in the title (and it does sound sweet). But heres one thing you should know about Alabama: its one state that is very particular about the healthcare of its citizens. In fact, the state governor even proposed to legislate tax breaks to small-time businesses that offer healthcare benefits to employees.

But Alabama is not really that much different from all the other states in the United States, and there are some facts that may be or less true for others.
