Mhm. COVID-19 has revealed our increasingly broken relationship with nature Today. Over 70% of emerging infectious diseases and almost all recent Pandemics originated in livestock and wildlife. Land use, change, environmental degradation and the ever rising production and trade of livestock are creating ideal conditions for new pathogens as we encroach more and more on wildlife habitats, The risk of disease is spilling over from animals to people is getting bigger. The growing trade in wildlife, especially in towns and cities, is increasing our exposure to these diseases. Mm We have an opportunity to do things differently and avoid another outbreak By learning from the pandemic and working together to tackle the root causes. We can reduce or prevent the emergence of wildlife pathogens, detect future outbreaks in time and respond with effective health solutions. Our latest white paper and policy brief gives us the tools to prevent detect and respond so we can build back better and reduce the risk of future pandemics. Let's act now to secure a brighter future for people and wildlife. Yeah.
