Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureStop African swine fever
Protect wild pigs, protect all pigs!
2024Also available in:
No results found.The brochure raises awareness about African swine fever (ASF) and its impact on wild pig populations. While ASF doesn't directly affect human health, it is highly infectious and fatal for both domestic and wild pigs, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. Wild pigs are vulnerable due to their lack of containment, making monitoring and control challenging. The loss of wild pig species due to ASF could devastate wildlife conservation, disrupt ecological communities, and impact local economies.The publication aligns with the FAO Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) objectives by promoting awareness and preventive measures to control ASF. It supports FAO's goals by enhancing sustainable animal health management, food security, and protecting livelihoods dependent on pig farming. The brochure targets various audiences, offering practical advice on reducing ASF transmission through biosecurity measures and responsible practices. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2018 (SOFIA)
Meeting the sustainable development goals
2018The 2018 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture emphasizes the sector’s role in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, and measurement of progress towards these goals. It notes the particular contributions of inland and small-scale fisheries, and highlights the importance of rights-based governance for equitable and inclusive development. As in past editions, the publication begins with a global analysis of trends in fisheries and aquaculture production, stocks, processing and use, trade and consumption, based on the latest official statistics, along with a review of the status of the world’s fishing fleets and human engagement and governance in the sector. Topics explored in Parts 2 to 4 include aquatic biodiversity; the ecosystem approach to fisheries and to aquaculture; climate change impacts and responses; the sector’s contribution to food security and human nutrition; and issues related to international trade, consumer protection and sustainable value chains. Global developments in combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, selected ocean pollution concerns and FAO’s efforts to improve capture fishery data are also discussed. The issue concludes with the outlook for the sector, including projections to 2030. As always, The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience, including policy-makers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed all those interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. -
