It's not just a livestock issue. It's also a threat to wildlife. While the focus has rightly been on protecting livestock production, a new study highlights two risks we can no longer afford to ignore: the impact of New World screwworm on wildlife and the role of illegal cattle movements in driving its spread. Infestations have already been documented in species such as tapirs and pumas, among others of conservation concern. Yet protected areas and remote landscapes remain, to a large extent, blind spots for surveillance. Wildlife is not driving the outbreak. It is one of its victims—and it can also help us identify where the risk is emerging. 📖 Read the full story to learn why the response must include wildlife, protected areas, and a One Health approach: programs.wcs.org/5greatforests/… @TheWCS #OneHealth #NewWorldScrewworm #Wildlife #Conservation #WCS

Fishers are at the heart of Belize’s coastal communities. This year’s Fisher Fair in Dangriga celebrated their vital role in fisheries, food security, culture, and the economy—while highlighting the importance of healthy oceans. #FisherFair #Belize #SustainableFisheries

World Wildlife Day: Investing in People and the Planet!
WCS Mesoamérica y el Caribe@WCS_Mesoamerica

#WorldWildlifeDay. Investing in People and the Planet "Investing in People and the Planet" is the theme for World Wildlife Day. That’s why today (and everyday), we reaffirm our commitment to protecting the incredible wildlife species that inhabit Mesoamerica. In an interconnected world, our mission is to safeguard the ecosystems we share with them. How do we do it? With a dedicated team of professionals and partners, we implement conservation strategies to restore degraded habitats and strengthen local capacities. These include monitoring plants, birds (including migratory), reptiles, amphibians, marine species, and mammals in vast forests like the Maya Forest and La Moskitia, as well as in the Pacific and the Caribbean, among other efforts and locations (we could go on and on about everything we do!). Here are some images shared by our team, to celebrate World Wildlife Day, hoping you marvel -just as we do- at the biodiversity around us and become more aware of the actions we can take to improve this world we all share. Look at the full set of images here: bit.ly/WorldWildlifeD…
