Contaminated Waters with Cryptosporidium: a Barrier to Safe Aquatic Life and Public Health

|

Understanding Cryptosporidium: A Stealthy Waterborne Threat Cryptosporidium remains a hidden yet dangerous waterborne pathogen. It easily spreads through contaminated water sources (Akinnubi, 2024). Once ingested, it causes cryptosporidiosis, a severe gastrointestinal illness (Siwak et al., 2023). Additionally, Cryptosporidium infects both humans and animals, increasing zoonotic transmission risks (Mpindou et al., 2021). Its small oocysts resist

Reducing Roadkill: Infrastructure Innovations to Improve Habitat Connectivity

|

The Roadkill Problem: A Threat to Biodiversity Human infrastructure poses significant risks to biodiversity and the creation of Strong Sustainability. This infrastructure creates alien environments that most animals cannot comprehend. The biggest infrastructure threat to wildlife is roads, which affect approximately 20% of the total land area in the United States (Federal Highway Administration, n.d.).

How Waterway Pollution Fuels Extreme Weather and Climate Disasters

|

Introduction Water and climate change are inextricably linked. Extreme weather makes water scarce, less predictable, and more polluted (UN Water, n.d.). Waterway pollution is becoming a critical global concern as climate change intensifies extreme weather events. Storms, floods, and hurricanes are now more frequent and more destructive, placing immense pressure on natural and built water systems.
