Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochurePeste des petits ruminants outbreak investigation in wildlife
Report of the virtual training workshop 16–17 March 2021
2021Also available in:
No results found.Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an important disease of wildlife and a threat to biodiversity, in addition to having major impacts on small ruminant production. Aiming to enhance capacity to detect and respond to suspected PPR events in wildlife and to enhance coordination between wildlife and livestock sectors, a training workshop on PPR outbreak investigation in wildlife was conducted virtually (16th-17th March 2021). The workshop was organised in partnership with the FAO and OIE Regional Offices for Asia and the Pacific, the FAO/OIE PPR Secretariat and the wildlife working group of the PPR Global Research and Expertise Network (GREN). Presentation topics included the current status of PPR in wildlife, guidance for the prevention and control of PPR in wildlife, disease outbreak investigation, the One Health approach and inter-sectoral coordination, laboratory diagnostics, risk analysis and the use of in-field disease surveillance tools. Among key recommendations, countries were recommended to establish formal mechanisms and cross-sectoral communication plans for coordinated response for disease outbreaks in wildlife. Countries were also recommended to conduct surveillance for PPR in wildlife, to conduct thorough outbreak investigations, and to report confirmed cases of PPR in wildlife to OIE. The post-workshop survey was used to identify future training needs to enhance capacity for managing PPR in wildlife. Recommendations to FAO/OIE included continued support countries to build capacity to prevent and respond to suspected PPR events in wildlife and to include wildlife in National Strategic Plans and in the next phase of the PPR GEP (GEPII). -
Book (stand-alone)GuidelineGuidelines for the Control and Prevention of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in Wildlife Populations
Peste des petits ruminants Global Eradication Programme
2021The PPR Secretariat, the OIE Working Group on Wildlife, and the PPR Global Research and Expertise Network (GREN) have jointly developed these guidelines for PPR prevention, outbreak response, and control in wildlife, which can be used by countries to develop their PPR national strategic plans. These guidelines are intended to help countries in the development and implementation of PPR eradication programmes, including objectives, policies and strategies that can be adapted to the full range of national needs, and that facilitate the integration of the wildlife sector into the national strategic plan. Integration will enhance the conservation of wildlife populations, and facilitate management of diseases at the wildlife–livestock interface. Establishing a multisectoral coordination mechanism is essential to ensure good governance and effective collaboration in achieving PPR eradication goals. The purpose of this document is to provide a conceptual framework that can be tailored to a particular national and epidemiological context. In addition, these guidelines, while specific to PPR eradication, can be adapted for any disease at the wildlife–human–livestock interface. -

Also available in:
No results found.Este documento forma parte de una serie de 21 publicaciones técnicas y refleja algunas de las actividades y resultados alcanzados durante cinco años de trabajo del proyecto Sistema Integrado de Monitoreo y Evaluación de los Ecosistemas Forestales Nativos (SIMEF), una iniciativa del Gobierno de Chile, con apoyo técnico de la FAO y financiamiento del Fondo para el Medioambiente Mundial (FMAM). La iniciativa ha implementado un inventario nacional incorporando las dimensiones biofísicas, socioeconómicas, biodiversidad y el cambio de uso de la tierra, consolidando finalmente un sistema de monitoreo y la evaluación del stock de carbono de los bosques chilenos. Estas publicaciones se agrupan en protocolos técnicos, que sistematizan las diversas modalidades de inventario de los ecosistemas forestales nativos; informes técnicos con presentación de los resultados producto de la aplicación de estos protocolos y también se entrega un conjunto de manuales técnicos útiles para profesionales y propietarios en su trabajo de campo. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal Forest Resources Assessment 2020
Main report
2020FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. At that time, its major objective was to collect information on available timber supply to satisfy post-war reconstruction demand. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2020, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The production of FRA 2020 also involved collaboration among many partner organizations, thereby reducing the reporting burden on countries, increasing synergies among reporting processes, and improving data consistency. The results of FRA 2020 are available in several formats, including this report and an online database containing the original inputs of countries and territories as well as desk studies and regional and global analyses prepared by FAO. I invite you to use these materials to support our common journey towards a more sustainable future with forests.
