    Policy brief
    How natural resource management sectors can contribute to reducing emerging infectious diseases: the example of forest ecosystems
    Policy brief

    This policy brief is a result of a collaboration between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and EcoHealth Alliance. The aim of the brief is to suggest ways, using the example of forest ecosystems, in which natural resource management sector can play a more active role in reducing risk and/or mitigating the impact of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs). This would reflect and facilitate a more holistic and upstream One Health approach as defined by the One Health High-Level Expert Panel, an advisory and scientific body to the Quadripartite Alliance for One Health (FAO-WOAH-WHO-UNEP). Based on guidance from FAO’s Governing Bodies, inter alia, the Committee on Forests, the Committee on Agriculture and its Subcommittee on Livestock, and FAO’s Regional Forestry Commissions, the recommendations from this brief are directed at national government authorities in charge of natural resource management, in addition to other relevant stakeholders involved in environmental management and land use planning. The recommendations are structured around eight illustrative entry points whereby the natural resource management sector can increase participation in efforts to reduce EID risk, thus applying a more holistic One Health approach.
