Three Pillars of Covid-19

PREDICT PROJECTONE HEALTH CONCEPT

• PREDICT PROJECT ..USAID funded project,
• Working in 30 countries to detect more than 900
  novel viruses from 1,45,000
• Samples of wildlife, livestock and humans.
• Ms tracey Goldstein , associate director of One
  Health Institute at the University of
  California,Davis, which leads the project.
• One Health is an approach to look at the outbreak
  not only in people but a complex interactions
  happening among Environment, Animals and
  Humanbeings and inturn fit biodiversity ie.
  Healthy biodiversity to keep Humanbeings free of
  outbreak.

One Health Concept

• After the 2009 H1N1 INFLUENZA,there was paradigm
  shift to think about how to bring wildlife into
  health surveillance.
• Mapping of those areas where people and animals
  come in close contact how often and spill over
  between animals and humans happens.
• Identification of high risk activities such as
  wet markets,building roads in inaccessible areas
  or caves, farming of wild animals.
• If we see the SARS outbreak in 2003, before we
  could know the severe outbreak in China, the
  report came from Cambodia, Thailand,Nepal.You can
  get within hours from China to Seattle , we need
  to strengthen surveillance and response systems
  in countries around the world, because it is
  going to affect all of us at home.
• I would add in this the examination of flora also
  ie healthy trees and assocated species.

Lockdown-Stay in HomeBiodiversity Fit Home

• Vision 1.To get oxygen laden fresh air when you
  open the window in the
• morning for yoga and practice
  Plantation Yoga.
• 2. Growing biodiversity at
  home(in and around)
• with an objective of getting
  fresh airProvide water to avian fauna
• 3.Observe nature with respect
  to
• flora,fauna,pollinators
  i.e.birds,bees,
• pure air fragrance etc
  connect with nature.
• 4. MAKE IT A LIFE STYLE AS
  HANDWASHING
• Action Points1.Create a Home garden with
  Biodiversity i.e. minimum of a neem tree in
  bigpot, giloy as climber, Sahjan,Periwinkle,Lemon
  grass,Aloevera as an example which can vary
  according to agroclimatic variations.
• 2.Create Biodiversity plantation aroud the
  households means sowing grasses, herbs ,shrubs,
  climbers and trees rather than plantation.

Social Distancing vs Ecological Distancing

• Vision Minimal contact through Ecological
  Distancing/Biodiversity distancing.
• To reach 130 crores through thumb rules not
  through vague/generalized statement
• A green barrier
• Easy to implement
• A screening window for germs

Enhance Immunity- Biodiversity Fit India.

• Production Sector Of Bioresources-
• Neem
• Giloy
• Sahjan
• Aloevera
• Forest department should make available the
  plants by raising in departmental nurseries free
  of costs at PDS shops to create a ripple of
  inclination for enhancing immunity among Indian
  citizens. Using these bioresources on dailybasis
  should be the habit and culture of 130 crores of
  Indians.
• First phase Target groups who are getting
  rations at PDSshops/Prandhan Mantri kisan samman
  yojana/Manrega workers/Migrant Labours
  /Beneficiaries of Ujjawala Yojana etc,

11
A Target group on Priority

• Slum dwellers. According to 2011 census, there
  are 13.9 million households and about 64 million
  people, located in the city slums nation
  wide.This is 17 of all urban households.
• Processed bioresources A case study of
  chayanprash
• There are approximately 42 bioresources used in
  the formation of chayan prash and there is a huge
  scarcity of this product in Covid-19 period.
• Hence a proper reorientation of afforestation is
  to delineated as Biodiversity plantation where
  Grasses,herbs,shrubs and climbers must be grown
  along with middle tier and top canopy trees.

Case Study

• 130 Cr citizens. 400 Rs(cost of 1 kg)12
  624,000 cr/year revenue generation(The
  assumption is base on aggressive measures to
  contaion Pandemic, where acute finanacial
  scarcity is there, it can be subsidised)
• Access and Bnefit Sharing 624,000 cr 3 18720
  cr/year
• Calculation of one product enhancing the base for
  enhancing immunity,
• Post Covid -19 should be seen as an opportunity
  to
• Enhance contribution to 5 trillion dollar
  economy,
• Doubling Farmers income
• Growth in Economy.

• Distribution of free seedlings at PDS SHOPS to
  all 130 crores by forest deptt.
• Access and Benefit sharing through enhance
  selling of Processed immune developers
  bioresources, The economy of country can get a
