This #BiodiversityDay, we are facing 3 global crises: #climatechange, #biodiversity loss, and a #pandemic crisis.
At the core, all 3 are about our destructive relationship with nature. Hope for solving them is the same, too: we must halt environmental degradation. (1/8)

Today, a new @TheWCS report shows the more we modify nature, the more likely we are to cause zoonotic spillovers.
Activities like land conversion & wildlife trade & consumption in areas of high biodiversity increase contact rates w/wildlife & raise risk. bit.ly/2ZAniCS

In fact, preserving intact forests is one of most powerful & cost-effective solutions we have to combat all 3 threats. (3/8)
THREAD: Important meeting today in Berlin on #OnePlanetOneHealth.
Major takeaway: human, animal, plant and environmental health and well-being are all intrinsically connected and profoundly influenced by human activities.🌏#onehealth (1/4)

@WCSNewsroom @JoeWalston_WCS @sslieberman @CristianSamper @WCSBrussels Ultimately, we must work together across disciplines and sectors.
No one area holds enough knowledge & resources to single-handedly prevent the emergence or resurgence of diseases while maintaining and improving the health of all species. (2/4)

We must apply adaptive, forward reasoning and multidisciplinary solutions.
Also boldly integrate current uncertainties to address the opportunities and challenges ahead. (3/4)

Thrilled to announce at #UNClimateSummit tonight, we are launching #Forests4Life.
It's a collaboration with @RainforestNORW, @UNDP, @Global_Wildlife, & @WorldResources to protect the world’s great forests. Part of natural solution to #ClimateCrisis. bit.ly/2lz6IC7

@RainforestNORW @UNDP @Global_Wildlife @WorldResources “We must recognize that the foundation of all climate solutions depends on the continuing function of nature—including the world’s great #intactforests that soak up 1/4 of all humanity’s carbon emissions each year,” said WCS's

@RainforestNORW @UNDP @Global_Wildlife @WorldResources @CristianSamper DYK: Fewer than a quarter of the world’s remaining forests are considered intact, and these forests are being damaged at twice the rate of forests overall.
#Forests4Life aims to halt and reverse forest degradation across 1 billion hectares of the most intact forests worldwide.
