📢 Yesterday at C*D COP17, IUCN, together with the IUCN Commission on Ecosystem Management and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, launched the new guidelines "Restoring Ecosystems, Protecting Health: A practical guide to integrate zoonotic and vector-borne disease risk management in ecosystem restoration policy and practice."

The guidelines draw attention to an important connection: while restoring ecosystems can benefit biodiversity, climate resilience and human well-being, restoration design and implementation can also influence the risk of zoonotic and vector-borne diseases.

This new resource brings together ecosystem restoration and One Health, helping practitioners assess potential health risks, design appropriate interventions, and adapt as conditions change while recognising the independence of human, animal, and ecosystem health. 🔬♻️
