While the world’s attention has been centered on the current global health crisis, the deterioration of the world’s biodiversity has continued with understated public alarm. The One Health approach recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal and planetary health, with all its multitude of species and habitats.
On 28–29 October, GLF hosted a digital biodiversity conference featuring the One Health approach, gathering policymakers, Indigenous groups, members of the private sector, scientists and people interested in learning more about how to ensure the planet stays healthy for all. Attendees had the opportunity to listen to experts discuss how to protect species and habitats ranging across central Africa, the Himalayas, Borneo and beyond in addition to networking, engaging in chats and Q&As, and enjoying some films.
Here are some numbers from the event:
The conference doesn’t end here. The platform will be open for two more weeks, so feel free to catch up on sessions you missed, rewatch some and network with others interested in protecting biodiversity.
You can also read summaries of both days of the event here and here, and get inspired by a selection of insightful quotes.
