Nature Sports is one of the fastest growing sectors in active tourism area, with many types of activities. In this sense, it is important to investigate the way that specialized companies in the area provide their activities, trying to identify the parameters and constraints that determine the quality, proposing improvements in processes and procedures (Bento, 2017; Mediavilla et al., 2014). In this context, it ́s necessary a qualification in the technicians and guides as well as a physical and psychological commitment, on the part of the final customer. The identification of the parameters of the activities promoted by specialized companies, make current and pertinent, more investigations in an increasingly and important sector. This article aims to characterize the implementation of three active tourism activities, divided by area / environment of intervention (land, water and air) according to Serra (2009), adapting standards, technical and safety procedures, taking into account the evolution of the current outbreak resulting from the COVID- 19 pandemic, declared by the World Health Organization (WHO), in March 2020. The safety and hygiene procedures implemented by companies, resulting from the pandemic COVID-19, should be perpetuated in time, where opportunities will arise to reflect and rethink tourism and Nature Sport activities.

The world is puzzling over the origin of the current outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) that is caused by a novel coronavirus-2019 (2019-nCoV). As of 25th March 2020, the World Health Organization has reported 4,14,179 confirmed cases and 18,440 confirmed deaths in total due to COVID-19. To this end, two unique mammals namely bats and pangolins are being investigated for their potential link to COVID-19. However, the evidence so far gathered in this context is far from clear. This paper aimed to: (i) enlighten the major aspects of life of bats and pangolins; (ii) briefly discusses their potential link to COVID-19; and also (iii) to highlight the way forward. The outcomes may contribute to future research on the subject.

Dr. Halfdan Mahler, Director-General of the World Health Organization [said] in many cultures women were the underprivileged: girls often received less food than boys, a pattern passed on by mothers who gave themselves less food than their husbands; girls often received less in the way of formal education than boys, since they were needed by mothers to help in the collection of water, preparation of food, and house and horticultural work—school learning being anyway irrelevant to becoming in turn a mother. Unemployment among women around the world was far higher than among men. Dr. Mahler summarized the position as "the feminization of poverty," by legislation, constitution, and ideology.

The current outbreak of serious respiratory syndrome (aka COVID-19) has resulted from a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). This infectious disease was classified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) because it threatens public health and life worldwide. Recently, restrictions in many countries are applied to detect the infected individuals, isolate them, and attempt to find appropriate treatments that can help decrease the disease’s severe symptoms. Regardless of the conducted efforts, the number of reported cases of coronavirus infections is still growing up.
