DocumentOther documentForests for human health and well-being
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Forests provide, directly or indirectly, important health benefits for all people – not only those whose lives are closely intertwined with forest ecosystems, but also people far from forests, including urban populations. Recognition of the importance of forests for food security and nutrition has significantly increased in recent years, but their role in human health has received less attention. Nutrition and health are intrinsically connected: Good nutrition cannot be achieved without good health and vice versa. Therefore, when addressing linkages with forests, it is essential to address health and nutrition at the same time. Yet forests also provide a wide range of benefits to human health and well-being beyond those generally associated with food security and nutrition. This publication examines the many linkages of forests and human health and offers recommendations for creating an enabling environment in which people can benefit from them. Designed for practitioners and policy-makers in a range of fields – from forestry to food security, from nutrition and health to land-use and urban planning – it is hoped that the paper will stimulate interest in expanding cross-sectoral collaboration to a new set of stakeholders, to unlock the full potential of forests’ contributions to greater human well-being.

Book (stand-alone)High-profileRinderpest and its eradication 2022
Also available in:
No results found.This book tells the story of rinderpest and its eradication. The focus is on the international coordination that came together after the Second World War in the confident belief that, with vaccines available, the eradication of rinderpest was a practical possibility. In both Africa and South Asia, beginning in the 1960s, there was an initial dramatic success through the coordinated vaccination of cattle across the continents. Unfortunately, follow-up measures could not prevent the return of epidemic rinderpest, albeit to a lesser extent. Chastened by failure, the international community refocused with renewed energy to achieve eradication. The vaccination programmes broadened to reflect a multidisciplinary approach to disease eradication. FAO and the OIE, together with international aid agencies, coordinated policy with the nation states and guided implementation of the era¬dication programmes until success was achieved. -
