Malaria has been successfully eliminated from most parts of Brazil, however it is still prevalent within the remote Amazonian communities. Access to health care is a major challenge here and the disease creates an additional burden on a population which already has many social and economic difficulties.
Medicines for Malaria Venture are hoping to eliminate this strain of relapsing malaria here and across much of Latin America with the launch of what could be a game changing, one stop treatment, ideal for communities where access to healthcare is a challenge.
Palm oil is a versatile product which has become increasingly popular as an ingredient in foods such as biscuits and chocolate, as well as toiletries including shampoo and toothpaste. To meet this demand, a huge industry has developed, where habitats and biodiverse landscapes are destroyed to make room for oil palm plantations, thus threatening the wildlife that lives there, with extinction. A team of scientists at the University of West of England in Bristol, is working to combat this by using the Bird’s Nest Fern to return native diversity back into the heart of the forests.
The UWE scientists also hope that the work they do with local schools can inspire the next generation to become passionate about solving the world’s biggest issues. Dr Debbie Lewis knows how vital educating children on these topics from a young age is “It’s important, these kids are going to be our future scientists, they are going to be our future policy makers".
