programmes that are complementary to wildlife conservation and which take
into account the health of the ecosystems where we work.
2020 has been designated as the super year for nature and biodiversity. The
current pandemic highlights the urgency to examine how humans interact with
the natural world. In 2016, a United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
report pointed out that 75% of all emerging infectious human diseases are
zoonotic and that these zoonotic diseases are closely interlinked with the health
of ecosystems. As we move past this crisis and look to the future, our promise to
you, our supporters, is that we will continue to work with like-minded partners to
ensure that conservation is managed in a way that ensures that nature thrives, so
that humans thrive as well.
