(1) a statement of the United States intention 
to facilitate international cooperation to prevent 
commercial trade in live wildlife and raw or unproc-
essed wildlife parts and derivatives for human con-
sumption, that risk contributing to zoonotic spillover 
and to prevent the degradation and fragmentation of 
forests and other intact ecosystems in tropical coun-
tries while ensuring full consideration to the needs 
and rights of Indigenous Peoples and local commu-
nities that depend on wildlife for their food security; 
(2) programs supporting integrated One Health 
activities to improve community health, promote the 
sustainable management, conservation, and restora-
3260 
tion of forests, and ensure safety in livestock produc-
tion and handling; 
(3) programs and objectives to change wildlife 
consumers’ behavior, attitudes and consumption of 
wildlife that risks contributing to zoonotic spillover; 
(4) programs to increase supplies of sustainably 
and locally produced alternative animal and plant- 
based sources of protein and nutrition; 
(5) programs to protect, maintain and restore 
ecosystem integrity; 
(6) programs to ensure that countries are suffi-
ciently prepared to detect, report, and respond to 
zoonotic disease spillover events; 
(7) programs to prevent, prepare for, detect, re-
port, and respond to zoonotic disease spillover 
events; and 
(8) the identification of Landscape Leaders re-
siding in-country who will coordinate strategic imple-
mentation, the overseeing of Conservation Corps vol-
unteers, and coordination with donors and award re-
cipients throughout the term of the project.

for fresh and live wildlife source foods as a way 
to stop spillover;

nutrition to provide an alternative to the grow-
ing wild meat demand in urban, suburban, and 
exurban communities; and

pacity forested countries with susceptibility to 
zoonotic spillover and spread that can lead to a 
pandemic.
