Petition: Act Now to Prevent Future Pandemics and Protect Wildlife

Our interactions with nature and animals have caused devastating consequences, highlighted by the recent pandemic. Scientists warn that the relentless destruction of wildlife habitats and the trade in wild and exotic animals bring us dangerously close to numerous unidentified viruses that could spark future pandemics.

It’s imperative that we Support this legislation to safeguard our health and the welfare of wildlife.
