Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], April 21: A compelling new study finds that the way children are educated may be contributing to planetary loss, and provides a bold blueprint for reversing it. 'Teaching systems thinking to protect wildlife: a pilot study in West Bengal's secondary schools,' arrives at a defining Earth Day moment as the world grapples with accelerating environmental collapse and biodiversity loss. The research, funded by National Geographic Society (NGS) with publication support by Voices for Asian Elephants (https://www.vfaes.org/projects), highlights gaps in conventional education systems, which often rely on siloed, rote memorization-based instruction, often failing to address complex issues such as human-elephant conflict.

Author summary Cats are among the most common companion animals worldwide and are often allowed to roam freely outdoors, bringing them into close contact with people, other domestic animals, and wildlife. While these interactions raise well-known conservation concerns, they also expose cats to a wide range of pathogens. Disease risk is commonly associated with feral cats, but the relative risk for owned cats allowed to roam outdoors unsupervised has remained unclear. To address this question, we compiled data from studies conducted globally, encompassing a broad range of pathogens relevant to human health. We found that cats with outdoor access were more likely to carry infections than indoor-only cats, and that their risk of infection was comparable to that of feral cats. This similarity suggests that outdoor access leading to hunting or contact with wildlife and other free-roaming animals can rapidly negate the protective effects of ownership. Because owned cats also have frequent close contact with people, infection acquired outdoors may increase opportunities for onward exposure to owners and the broader public, including through environmental contamination. Together, these results show that how people manage their pets plays a major role in shaping disease transmission between wildlife, domestic animals, and humans, highlighting that strategies designed to reduce the ecological impacts of free-roaming cats can simultaneously deliver substantial benefits for both public health and biodiversity.
