As the world focuses on the zoonotic COVID-19 outbreak, we are highlighting The Berlin Principles; an urgent call to governments, academia, and civil society that all sectors need to break down barriers to ensure a united effort to prevent the emergence or resurgence of diseases that threaten humans, wildlife, and livestock.
The Berlin Principles were developed and issued at the "One Planet, One Health, One Future" conference organized by the Wildlife Conservation Society and the German Federal Foreign Office in October 2019. The conference included the top minds from around the globe addressing how human development and interference on nature are generating threats affecting all life on Earth.
