Climate Change and Animal Health

This comprehensive volume assembles critical research on the direct and cascading effects of climate change on animal health, providing educators, veterinarians, and researchers with evidence-based analysis of this global threat. Drawing from international experts, the book examines how shifting temperatures, extreme weather, and ecological disruptions are creating unprecedented challenges for wildlife, livestock, and companion animals. It moves beyond diagnosis to offer practical frameworks for developing sustainable adaptation strategies that can protect vulnerable species.

What distinguishes this work is its actionable approach—it transforms complex climate science into management protocols and intervention strategies that practitioners can implement. The global perspective ensures relevance across diverse ecosystems, from tropical regions experiencing new disease vectors to polar habitats facing rapid transformation. For anyone committed to conservation, veterinary medicine, or environmental policy, this book provides the essential toolkit for confronting what may become the defining challenge of animal welfare in our century.
