Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the fragility of our way of life and the challenges and opportunities for nature conservation, food security, energy supply and health care are more apparent than ever.
In our #Connect2Earth Global Health Talks interview series, scientists and experts will address the causes of pandemics like COVID-19 and reveal how we can prevent future ones from occurring.
For our first episode, we are joined by Dr Peter Daszak, a British zoologist, researcher and expert on disease ecology, in particular on zoonosis - diseases that are transmissible from animal to person and from person to animal.
Moderators:
- Marco Vollmar: Executive Communications Director, WWF Germany
- Alice Ruhweza: Africa Region Director, WWF International
