Webinar on Nature and Wildlife Health

If you were not able to join the webinar live, watch the recording of the event here. 

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) are hosting a webinar focusing on the case for investment to improve environment competencies at the country and territory level through collaboration between veterinary services and the environment and wildlife sectors.

"Nature and wildlife health: Making the case for investment in Asia and the Pacific" will bring together veterinary, agriculture and environment sector stakeholders. It will focus on the human-animal-ecosystems interface. These are the agricultural and productive spaces where biodiversity loss is declining rapidly, which is destabilising the ecosystem services on which local people depend for food and livelihoods. This has consequences for all of society.

As such, the webinar will focus on the value of wild agro-biodiversity, and particularly fauna – the birds, bats, frogs, crabs, insects, rodents, snakes, that live in and around the rice fields, crop farms, wood plots, wild borders, grazing areas, riverbanks of populated areas in the Asia-Pacific region.
