Healthy landscapes support animal and human health

Incentives for sustainable food systems, both livestock and wildlife source, need to also consider health

What to invest in?

• Encourage management practices to control unsustainable wildlife consumption and trade, including illegal activities 
• Develop alternatives for food security and livelihoods that do not rely on the destruction and unsustainable exploitation of habitats and biodiversity
• Phase out unsustainable agricultural practices
• Strengthen animal health services, including wildlife
• Support sustainable co-existence of agriculture and wildlife through integrated management of landscapes and seascapes, by investments in agroecological methods of food production that mitigate waste and pollution while reducing risk of zoonotic disease transmission
• Reduce further destruction of wildlife habitat by strengthening existing commitments on habitat conservation and restoration, maintenance of ecological connectivity, reduction of habitat loss, and incorporating biodiversity values in governmental and private sector decision-making and planning processes
