This increases the risk of emerging diseases in wildlife, livestock, and humans. Biosecurity measures are needed, but rethinking of livestock production in high biodiversity regions is also required. A cross-sectoral transdisciplinary approach is required for the effective management of risks at the wildlife–livestock interface. It is urgent to find models and approaches that allow a better balance between protein production and biodiversity conservation.en© Jori, Hernandez-Jover, Magouras, Dürr, Brookes.
