The Conservation Planning Specialist Group explores the practicalities of applying the IUCN/OIE Guidelines for Wildlife Disease Risk Analysis (WDRA). These guidelines are intended to provide decision-makers (e.g. wildlife managers, public and environmental health officials, government agencies, and industry representatives) with the information needed to integrate the wildlife DRA process into their work. As well as presenting a detailed overview of the WDRA process, this webinar provides an opportunity to hear from different users of the guidelines to enable discussion around their utility in a variety of contexts. CPSG also introduces the quantitative risk analysis software, Outbreak, and how it can add further depth to the WDRA process.
CPSG Webinar Leads: Fabiana Lopez-Rocha (Program Officer) and Steve Unwin (Program Manager, Wildlife Health Australia)
