Today, we are thrilled to celebrate the 1st anniversary of the #CevaWildlifeResearchFund, the first endowment fund dedicated to the health of #wildlife! 🐨 The endowment fund initiated by Ceva to finance research projects targeting #wildlifehealth has already contributed to the funding of 5️⃣ on-the-ground projects aimed at preserving the health of endangered wild animal species. Preserving the health of wild animals is not a viable economic activity, which makes it a field of animal health that is still under-invested. The #CevaWildlifeResearchFund's efforts are anchored in three key missions: preserving biodiversity, fighting against #zoonoticdiseases that predominantly originate within #wildspecies, and facilitating interactions between wildlife, #farmanimals, and humans to preserve the #diversity of our planet.

In a show of animal kingdom girl power, just published research on captive-raised western ringtail possums has shown bold females have a better chance of survival than shy males once released into the wild. The University of Western Australia research project was undertaken as part of a wider South West NRM body of work between 2018 and 2023 to benefit the trajectory of critically-endangered western ringtails. Over time, we tracked via radio signal, 143 possums raised by local wildlife rehab experts FAWNA Inc to determine survival rates. Sadly, 55% of our released possums died with the majority killed by foxes. However the results of this research and other project outcomes will go a long way to informing future conservation efforts.

While most people appreciate that companion animals like dogs & cats have unique individual personalities, there is less recognition that - 🐷 Farm animals like cows, pigs, chickens & sheep, 🐟 Aquatic animals like fish, 🐁 Lab animals like rats & mice, and 🐨 Wild animals like the western ringtail possums in the study below 👇 Are each unique individuals with distinct personality traits #animals #animalbehaviour #personality #personalitytraits

These important guidelines have come out at an opportune time, as the CITES Animals Commitee will be meeting next month (in Geneva in July) with item No. 8 on the agenda on reducing risk of future zoonotic disease emergence associated with international wildlife trade. As a member of the CITES Working Group on this item, I'm happy to see the contribution of the WOAH Guidelines. There is clear evidence that domestic wildlife trade can increase risky human-wildlife contacts, such as "wet-markets" where wildmeat/bushmeat is sold. The more complex issue is to deal with the situations where international wildlife trade poses such risks, too. There's no doubt that wildmeat/bushmeat smuggling across borders and through air transport is very risky, but there are also risks from other forms of internationa lwildlife trade. These WOAH guidelines highlight some important points to consider on these issues, for example: "Wildlife trade presents opportunities for contact between species that do not normally mix (e.g. species from differing geographic locations)." (pg. 82) "Illegal wildlife trade ... intrinsically involves illicit or non-standard practices and brings higher risk. Hence, reducing pathogen spillover from illegal wildlife trade relies on efforts to combat wildlife trafficking and limit illicit activities and high-risk practices." (pg.11) " Impaired animal welfare can lead to stress and immunosuppression, potentially increasing an animal’s susceptibility to pathogens in the environment and the severity of infection, thereby increasing the number of subsequent onward pathogen transmission events. For example, keeping animals in poorly managed holding facilities or transporting live animals in cramped conditions leads to high levels of stress and provides greater opportunity for pathogen transmission. Hygiene and biosecurity are therefore critical to minimising risk in situations which cause stress." (pg. 10) "Although domestic-animal risk analysis approaches can be adapted to [wildlife trade, they can be insufficient because the latter is a highly complex system with a wide range of stakeholders and activities. These activities include local hunting, transboundary movement of wildlife as companion animals, farming and distribution of wildlife along large and complex supply chains, and marketing and consumption of wildlife specimens and products. The types of markets and points of sale involved may not come under the same level of scrutiny as domestic livestock markets dealing in animals destined for the food chain."

Exciting #OneHealth news! 🎉 As #WHA77 & #WOAH100 drive efforts to protect human and animal health this week, a new publication marks a crucial step towards a safer wildlife trade. Congrats, World Organisation for Animal Health, on launching the Guidelines for Addressing Disease Risks in Wildlife Trade! TRAFFIC is proud to have contributed expertise and research from the Wildlife TRAPS project to the multi-disciplinary effort which shaped these guidelines. The Guidelines will help protect human and animal health, biodiversity, and the livelihoods of communities dependent on #wildlifetrade.

Today, let’s celebrate the largest living land animal in the world. And let’s remember its importance every day! It's World Elephant Day. The goal of this day is to raise awareness of the plight of the shrinking populations of African and Asian elephants. Despite their size, elephants can be tamed to the extent that humans can work with them. They can be taught to do work, including heavy lifting, and we can even catch a ride atop their massive backs. They've also been employed (sadly) in wars. Elephants face a struggle for survival. Just 100 years ago, there was an estimated 5 to 12 million African elephants. Now, there is only approximately 400,000 African elephants left. There were about 1million Asian elephants 100 years ago. Now, there is just an estimated 20,000 to 40,000. Asian elephants are on the Vulnerable Species list. African elephants are on the Endangered Species list. They need our help to survive. Do not buy ivory or other wildlife products. Be an elephant aware consumer. Go to Amboseli Trust for Elephants to learn ways to ensure the long-term conservation and welfare of Africa’s elephants in the context of human needs.

🌍 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱’𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹𝘀 We are at a critical moment for the survival of some of the world’s most incredible species. Here are the most endangered animals globally, each in urgent need of conservation efforts: 🦏 Javan Rhino: 75 🐆 Amur Leopard: 100 🐅 Sunda Island Tiger: 600 🐒 Tapanuli Orangutan: 800 🦍 Mountain Gorilla: 1,000 🐋 Yangtze Finless Porpoise: 1,000 🦏 Black Rhino: 5,600 🐢 Hawksbill Turtle: 23,000 🐘 African Forest Elephant: 30,000 Each of these species is critically endangered, and without immediate action, we risk losing them forever. Conservation is no longer a choice, it’s a necessity.
