The loss of diversity creates opportunities for new pandemics. A paper published in Science of The Total Environment attributed the development of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 to the loss of human, biological and geochemical diversity, and emphasized the need for diversity conservation and interdisciplinary research efforts in order to address future global diseases.

JIRCAS aims to contribute to environmental conservation by developing technologies that contribute to the sustainable management of natural resources and agricultural productivity in developing countries based on an interdisciplinary approach.
