Africa is immensely rich in biodiversity. Its living organisms comprise around a quarter of global biodiversity and it supports the earth's largest intact assemblages of large mammals, which roam freely in many countries. Biodiversity provides vital ecosystem functions such as soil fertilization, nutrient recycling, pest and disease regulation, erosion control and crop and tree pollination. Human biology has a fundamental need for food, water, clean air, shelter and relative climatic constancy. There is a persistent link between the effects of biodiversity on human health. These links range from the ecology, the geolocalization, the environment, the meteorology, the vector (specie, disease) and the human (disease (sign/symptom), diagnosis, treatment). In a world with accelerating declines in biodiversity, profound land-use change, and an increase in non-communicable and zoonotic diseases globally, greater understanding of these pathways can reinforce biodiversity conservation as a strategy for the promotion of health for both people and nature. There is an importance of handling the pathways linking biodiversity to human health and well-being into an intelligent system.
