Background 

Wildlife trade—legal, illegal, domestic or international—is one of the most complex and under-addressed drivers of health risk at the human–animal–environment interface.  

The International Alliance against Health Risks in Wildlife Trade is a global, interdisciplinary and intersectoral network of over 180 organisations and 500+ experts working to better understand and prevent pathogen spillover at the source by bridging science, policy and practice through an One Health approach. Its activities range from knowledge exchange, pilot projects, and policy advisory support to awareness-raising on health risks along wildlife trade chains.  

Join us for an online event at the One Health Festival- Summit that shines a spotlight on the health risks inherent with wildlife trade and the Alliance’s role in elevating this issue on the national and global One Health stage. Featuring a keynote presentation, an expert panel discussion, and compelling field stories, this dynamic session is designed to inform, inspire, and encourage action.
