Abstract
The Expert Working Group (EWG) established by Eklipse in June 2022 worked for a year and undertook a number of different studies aimed at synthesising the current state of knowledge on biodiversity and pandemics. The group consisted of scientists with relevant expertise in the natural, biomedical and social sciences. The EWG focused on identifying and prioritising research gaps, while also collecting evidence on, and validating policy recommendations for, the interface of biodiversity and pandemics.
The main finding is the need for a transdisciplinary scientific approach at the interface of human/anthropogenic and natural/wild environments, combining on equal terms the social and natural science methods and insights. While the broad knowledge of ecology and other relevant natural science disciplines is crucial, a comprehensive study and understanding of human-biodiversity interfaces and their drivers is not possible without social sciences, e.g. anthropology, sociology, political science, economics, history, archaeology, playing a major and autonomous role.
