Standing Committee on Animal Health, Conservation, and Research

Building on the vision of the Board on Animal Health Sciences, Conservation, and Research (BAHSCR) to focus on animal health and conservation, the new Standing Committee on Animal Health, Conservation, and Research will broaden its mission to address the intersection of animal health, biodiversity, ecosystems, and conservation. The standing committee will advance research translation, explore emerging technologies and AI, promote animal welfare in diverse contexts, including zoological institutions and aquaria, and wild and semi-wild environments, and develop innovative approaches to support animal and human health at the ecosystem level.
