A wildlife population’s health rests on three interconnected factors: animal fitness, quality habitat, and low levels of parasites and pathogens. When these fall out of balance, whether from emerging diseases, habitat loss, or environmental stress, the consequences can be swift and far-reaching, affecting not just wildlife, but the ecosystems, economies, and cultural practices that depend on them.
In recognition of that connection, the USGS Ecosystems Mission Area invites you to join us for a Friday’s Findings in celebration of the 2nd Annual USGS Wildlife Health Awareness Day.
