SUMMARY:WOAH and UNEP: Nature and Wildlife Health
DESCRIPTION:WOAH and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) will host a joint webinar\, “Nature and wildlife health: making the case for investment in Asia and the Pacific”\nHuman\, animal and ecosystem health\, as well as the environment\, are fundamentally interconnected.    \nWildlife and environmental health are often neglected by policy makers\, with insufficient human and financial resources allocated. This webinar will focus on the case for investment to improve environment competencies at the country/territory level through multisectoral collaboration between Veterinary Services and the environment/wildlife sector.  \nThe event 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.     \nAs such\, we 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.      \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News. He brings 25 years of experience in corporate strategy\, media\, fintech\, and communications\, including 15 years specializing in news and journalism. Matt was recognized by the United Nations as #3 of the “Top 10 Most Influential Media Executives for Impact” in 2015 during the launch of the UN SDGs.\nHe has advised the Sustainable Stock Exchange initiative (SSEI)\, UNCTAD\, and the UN\, and hosts event coverage at the World Economic Forum\, ADFW\, Climate Week NYC\, EU Parliament\, COP\, the Vatican\, NASDAQ\, NYSE\, and more. Matt is a founding board member of the Humanity 2.0 Foundation\, a Vatican-based NGO focused on identifying and removing impediments to human flourishing.\nHe previously rang the NASDAQ Closing Bell in honor of his partnership with NASDAQ OMX to launch the world’s first retail investor targeting and newswire monitoring platform with the NASDAQ Financial Services Group. Matt launched ESG News in 2021\, leading coverage of more than 10\,000 news stories as of 2026—and truly loves what he does. \nesgnews.com
