WCC 2020 Res 135 - Activity Report

WCPA created a new Task Force on Protected Areas and One Health. Task Force aims: "...to integrate protected and conserved areas (PCAs) into One Health policy at all levels and to improve PCA management and policy by incorporating One Health themes. We will consider PCAs with all governance types, including those managed by local or Indigenous communities, and while we will focus mostly on infectious disease aspects of health, we will use the Quadripartite’s definition of One Health. We will elaborate a role for the WCPA and develop knowledge products that link PCAs and One Health in research, policy, and practice."
