An update on great ape population health, disease control and outbreak response

Since publication of the 2015 Great Ape Health Guidelines, great ape tourism has continued to gain in popularity, and landscape conversion continues on a steep trajectory. In addition, there has been a tremendous amount of new scientific research on pathogens that infect wild great apes. Furthermore, the world experienced epidemics of Ebola (in West Africa from 2014–2016 and in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) from 2018–2020) and the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2023).

Guidelines on harvesting threatened species

2025 Roe, Dilys | Mallon, David P. | Hoffmann, Rachel | Cooney, Rosie |

Societies around the globe harvest wild species, to a greater or lesser extent, for food, building materials, healthcare, medicines, pest control, ornamentation, income, recreation, and cultural and spiritual purposes. While this use of wild species directly contributes to the well-being of billions of people globally, over-exploitation of wild species is one of the key drivers of biodiversity loss.

Education/Communication/Raising awareness	The National Science Museum (NSM) in collaboration with the Asia Pacific Network of Science & Technology Centers (ASPAC), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN Thailand), Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC), Thailand Biodiversity Network Alliance (B-DNA Thailand), and the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization Regional Center for STEM Education (SEAMEO STEM-ED) have seen the importance of engaging and supporting people around the world to realize the importance of joining together to take action to protect our Earth. The International Photo Competition can be an excellent way to encourage people to be aware of the environmental crisis by presenting their perspectives through photographs and accompanying descriptions. We, therefore, have collaborated to create the first International Photo Competition project in 2021, along with the International Photo Exhibition presented at the National Science and Technology Fair under the topic Rivers and Ocean: Connecting Waters to Life. In 2022, the topic was Flow of Beauty: Interconnecting Folks and Living Creatures. Both years aimed to raise awareness of the crisis of water resources, streams, rivers, and oceans that we must work together to protect to reinforce a sustainable future. In 2023, the topic of the international photo competition was Save the World to Sustainably Feed the Future to create social ripples that make people aware of the importance of conserving natural resources, the environment, and mindful consumption, and taking serious steps to solve problems together to reduce food shortages and decrease the number of hungry people sustainably. The past three contests have received much attention. Each year, we receive more than 500 submissions from many countries.	Completed	Full activity report
