This session centres on the white paper and policy brief “Build Back Better in a Post-COVID World – Reducing Future Wildlife-Borne Spillover of Disease to Humans” produced by the Sustainable Wildlife Management Programme. Through constructive debate, presenters consider how policy and investment can crack down on the drivers of zoonotic disease emergence while fulfilling the needs of the tens of thousands of citizens, communities and Indigenous People who rely on wildlife for food, income and cultural identity.
