The Republic is also a member of a World Organisation for Animal Health working group on wildlife.
Leading Singapore’s participation in the World Organisation for Animal Health is Dr Anna Wong, the National Parks Board’s senior director of wildlife trade.
NParks said that in the network’s meetings, Singapore has shared information about the role of its One Health framework in facing possible threats arising from factors such as the interactions between humans, wildlife and the environment. “In turn, other members of the network have also exchanged knowledge on their home countries’ efforts in wildlife health management and updated on wildlife disease situations, allowing for the development of more comprehensive recommendations in terms of capability and capacity building,” NParks said.

Singapore served as the inaugural chair of Woah’s South-east Asia Wildlife Health Network in 2022, and as co-chair of a working group on the role of Cites in reducing risk of future zoonotic disease emergence associated with international wildlife trade, with Dr Wong helming efforts in both instances.Spotlight on moths in S’pore to assess impact of climate change, habitat loss on biodiversity
