By HUMPHREY AGEVIMore by this AuthorThe International Day for Biodiversity, being marked today, is aimed at increasing understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues. This year’s theme is “Our solutions are in nature”, signifying the strong relationships humans have with the world. Biodiversity conservation will increase genetic diversity, boosting resistance to infection strains; hence, it will become less easy to transmit the viruses. Restrictions on human movement have globally reduced visits to game parks, nature reserves and other areas with biodiversity. This could be positive because of the reduced human pressure, but it has also undermined cash flow as a result of reduced tourist entry fees.
