Stop African swine fever
The poster raises awareness about African swine fever (ASF) and its impact on wild pig populations. While ASF doesn't directly affect human health, it is highly infectious and fatal for both domestic and wild pigs, especially in Asia and the Pacific. Wild pigs are vulnerable due to their lack of containment, making monitoring and control challenging. The loss of wild pig species due to ASF could devastate wildlife conservation, disrupt ecological communities, and impact local economies.The publication aligns with the FAO Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) objectives by promoting awareness and preventive measures to control ASF. It supports FAO's goals by enhancing sustainable animal health management, food security, and protecting livelihoods dependent on pig farming. The poster targets various audiences, offering practical advice on reducing ASF transmission through biosecurity measures and responsible practices.
