“…(Gunningham & Sinclair, 2017). This appeals to an evidence-based approach to managing trade into the future which is supported by others (Booth et al, 2020a) b) c) Implementation of HACCP principles and existing guidelines to wild meat production and transport systems (FAO, 1998;OIE, 2000;Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, 2020;Biggs et al, 2021;FAO & WHO, 2021;IATA, 2021). A differential targeted risk assessment needs development specifically on traded wildlife species, starting with mammals and birds, with a similar approach to what it is already implemented in domesticated and international livestock trade (e.g.…”

This situation analysis presents a thorough, evidence-based examination of the relationship between wildlife and zoonosis, wildlife and emerging human pathogens and associated diseases, their origins, drivers, and risk factors. There is considerable divergence of opinion around the subject both within and outside the biodiversity conservation community and given the ontological challenges and highly different perspectives, contradictory narrative is unsurprising. Context is all-important and to clarify this in the analysis, the evidence of human diseases coming from wildlife is compared to diseases emerging from domestic animals and humans themselves, to provide context and proportions of the relative risk. The report highlights key knowledge, and provides perspective on where research, policy, interventions, and capacity building are needed to reduce risks of zoonoses and emergent animal-origin human diseases globally.

“… 70 These prescriptions could include, but not be limited to, a reduction in demand and supply, particularly of those taxa bearing high zoonotic risk (eg, rodents and primates), 71 and improved management of supply chains, including markets, through chains of custody, food safety standards, and considerations for interspecies mixing. 58 , 72 , 73 Importantly, specific decisions on bans of markets trading wild meat for human consumption, although suggested and even already implemented, 74 should be informed by the best available evidence from the policy-relevant science platform to ensure effectiveness and avoid unintended consequences. 75 After all, access to meat from wild animals is deeply intertwined with livelihoods and culture in some regions around the world.…”

“…Capitalizing on this will require evidence‐based solutions that are more nuanced than blanket bans, which are difficult to enforce and sustain, as shown by the eventual resumption of wild game consumption after SARS (Wong, 2016). In the short and medium terms, there will likely be considerable political will to invest in mechanisms to reduce threats posed by wildlife consumption and trade, providing conservationists with opportunities to work with public health and food safety experts to address this issue in innovative and integrated ways (Biggs et al, 2021; Campbell et al, 2022).…”

1. Political will is a critical determinant of the success or failure of environmental policies and interventions. Harnessing the political will necessary to implement environmental solutions can be challenging because environmental priorities may compete with other societal interests in policymaking.2. Environmental solutions are more politically feasible if fundamentally aligned with the core interests of key policymakers. Understanding the political agendas of decisionmakers enables conservationists to identify where political will already exists, and allows environmental objectives to piggyback on the motivation to deliver results.3. In this paper, we explore the core interests of the Chinese leadership to uncover opportunities to leverage Beijing's political will for sustainability and conservation gains. China's growing influence on ecosystems and natural resource use both within and beyond its borders makes an analysis of its leadership's political will valuable and timely.
