Identifying behavioural change strategies to mitigate zoonotic risk at human-wildlife interfaces related to wildlife trade
03/21/2024
Online Event
Hosted by the International Alliance Against Health Risks in Wildlife Trade with EcoHealth Alliance. Hongying Li and Nghiem Trang from EcoHealth Alliance will lead an in-depth dialogue and joint brainstorming session to develop approaches to integrate social and behavioural science into zoonotic risk mitigation. Professionals in conservation and zoonotic disease areas have been talking about this for some time but it has not been very well operationalised in terms of incorporating the methodology and learning experience from relevant implementers, or actual piloting. What to expect:
An update of the funded project work in Southeast Asia regarding risk mitigation in wildlife farming and bat guano collection practices.
Live Q&A and survey with the audience.
Brainstorm among Alliance members to identify a) specific human-wildlife interfaces and b) potential behavior change strategies for health risk mitigation.
Identify feasible and prioritised behavioural change strategies that can be piloted.
