As conservation travelers, we’re all committed to protecting wildlife and wild habitats in remote destinations worldwide, but how can we also do our part to help preserve nature closer to home? Domesticated dogs and cats are the most abundant carnivores on the planet because they are closely associated with humans, so a lack of responsible pet ownership can have serious consequences for biodiversity around the globe. Encounters between wildlife and domestic animals can cause a range of problems in ecosystems, including wildlife population changes and the emergence and spread of infectious diseases. Discover some best practices to help you protect wildlife in this informative webinar led by wildlife biologist and Expedition Leader Lilia Gonzalez and veterinarian Sandra Ortiz. These two presenters will also share their expertise about the ecology of infectious diseases in wildlife and a variety of other animal health issues. You’ll learn how your local actions can better support the wellbeing of wild animals, our beloved pets and our fellow humans.
