Bill overview
This bill, the Global Wildlife Health and Pandemic Prevention Act, aims to close high-risk wildlife markets around the world and prevent outbreaks of diseases that jump from animals to humans. It directs the State Department, USAID, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Department of Agriculture to prioritize the closure of these markets, provide support to other countries, and coordinate efforts with existing wildlife trafficking initiatives. The bill also establishes a framework for addressing zoonotic diseases through a ‘One Health’ approach, incorporating expertise from public health, animal health, and environmental health to enhance global preparedness and response.
