The cascading effects of biodiversity decline on human well-being present a pressing challenge for sustainable development. Conservation efforts often prioritize safeguarding specific species, habitats, or intact ecosystems but overlook biodiversity's fundamental role in providing Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) in human-modified landscapes.

The objective of this study was to assess the neuropsychological characteristics of individuals with early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD), late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), and very-late-onset Alzheimer's disease (VLOAD). The findings indicate notable neuropsychological variations across different age groups, demonstrating a progressive decline in cognitive function with age rather than distinct clinical presentations.

The authors put forward a mathematical model for examining the impact of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services on reducing the transmission of waterborne diseases such as enteric diarrheal disease (EDD). It is found that wastewater and sewage treatment (WST) control has the most significant impact in terms of WASH interventions employed. The findings have could have very important public health potential and tie in strongly with the goals of SDG 6.
