Abstract

The unprecedented macroeconomic challenges emerging from the coronavirus pandemic has searing impact on the global economy altering the existing status quo. The unusual situation created by COVID-19 has clearly undermined the general approach toward sustainability. The impacts of COVID-19 questioned the progress on SDGs, threatening decades of development gains and further delaying the urgent transition to a greener world. The origins of emerging diseases correlate with environmental –land use change, human population density, and wildlife diversity. To prevent future pandemics and promote sustainable development, it is necessary to further embed ecosystem services into socioeconomic development. To this direction, it is evident that protected areas could play a crucial role, as their aim is to maintain the benefits provided by natural ecosystems. As the pandemic has devastating effects on fragile economies, further research implications emerge for the implementation of green development paths that favor conservation and sustainable development.
