Synergies across the natural resources management fields in Southern Africa: disaster risk reduction and One Health
In Jà mbá: Journal of disaster risk studies; vol 5, no 2 (2013), doi: 10.4102/jamba.v5i2.74:
This paper addresses the resolution of critical socio-economic stresses that impact on environmental health in Southern Africa as well as the deterioration of human health in remote rural areas due to the failures of governance systems and the perpetration of non-participatory models for natural resources management, especially conservation. It seeks to explore how two relatively new approaches, disaster risk reduction and One Health, can together tap into the theoretical and practical gaps left by previous paradigms in order to instill a sustainable development approach that can benefit both people and natural resources in remote and poor rural areas.
