Today, it’s estimated that 36% of remaining intact forests lie within Indigenous Peoples lands. Further reason we are working with these groups today at #NatureForLife on #LocalAction and every day. wcs.org/nature-for-lif… #ForNature #ClimateChange
Majority of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic—they jump from wildlife to people. Key to addressing this: our interactions, exploitation, and destruction of nature.
