The Wildlife Society is going virtual with their 2020 Symposium!
Session #35: Wildlife Health in a Changing Climate: Novel Stressors and Innovative Solutions
Session Date: September 29, 2020
Time: On Demand
“This symposium will highlight examples of how climate change is influencing pathogens and their wildlife hosts, and will address how the wildlife health paradigm will need to shift to integrate dynamic, novel stressors into a more holistic view of wildlife health. Speakers will expand the concept of health from solely focused on disease status, to a framework that considers all determinants of health for a wildlife population or community. Speakers will also discuss how health surveillance will need to respond to these changing conditions. With this framework in mind, we will consider how climate adaptation and mitigation strategies can contribute to protecting the health of wildlife, as well as our planet and ourselves.”
