The scale and speed of global climate change has been a relatively new and unfamiliar threat to the natural environment and human health over the past 100 years. This is one of the large-scale environmental changes ongoing and each reflects an increase in the influence of human activities on the global environment (2). These changes include the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer, biodiversity, global land degradation, freshwater depletion, the transmission of persistent organic pollutants on a global scale, to ecosystems, food production, human economic activities and population There is a big influence on the health maintenance of the. )

In some recent studies, biodiversity has a positive impact on human health, alleging that changes to human's natural environment have a negative impact on health. This short literature review cites current research on biodiversity that supports human health and is investigating the adverse effects of changes in the natural environment. This review focuses on the health effects of biodiversity environment, outdoor activities, health benefits from plant interactions, human intervention, climate change, urban landscapes. The difficulty of applying current research to health assessment is also being debated. Using this information to educate general practitioners can help promote natural interactions, biodiversity and health. The natural medicine community can incorporate these concepts into practice and teach patients the prophylactic and therapeutic benefits of species diversity and natural interaction.
