Actions and measures for wildlife in response to the HPAI panzootic (OPTIONAL)

 

Since 2020 there have been many cases of serious outbreaks of HPAI in wild birds/wildlife but so far, our advice to wildlife managers is still the standardized old version. There must be some new issues and lessons learnt from outbreaks in the last few years. And we should work more before wild bird cases are getting out of control. In February 2024 the Pacific Seabird Group held a symposium at the annual meeting in Seattle and issued a statement.
When the Avian Disease Working Group was re-established under the East Asian Australasian Flyway Partnership in 2023, we also prepared concept notes on things to be done.
The above were regional eMorts, a global strategy and coordinated actions engaging morestakeholders are more desirable.

Aim and goal of the meeting:

  • Networking for global disease surveillance and coordinated response in wild bird populations.
  • Identifying lessons learned and identifying actions that need to be taken in response to the current HPAI panzootic.
  • Discussing what follow-up actions can be taken globally, including the possibility of formulating a global strategy on wild birds.
