Efforts to prevent future pandemics are in focus at #RwandaAgriShow2026, with attention on the Greater Virunga landscape.
@IucnRwanda is promoting a “One Health” approach, highlighting the links between human, animal, plant and environmental health.
Experts say stronger community awareness and preparedness could help reduce future health risks.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (@IUCN), present in Rwanda since 2016, supports national conservation and development goals through initiatives aligned with global frameworks, including AFR100, the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Sustainable Development Goals.

#Biodiversity is the backbone of ecosystems, agricultural practices & food production. But it is often threatened by our activities.
Thank you @UNBiodiversity for this gift of book "Mainstreaming Biodiversity Priorities".

Farmers, when you want to invest in #agribusiness, consult someone who has experience in that business.
Then you can learn more about diseases and pests that are associated with it, farming mistakes you do not have to make, etc. Otherwise, you will never be profitable.
Science Times Communications retweeted
To ensure food security we need to maximise food production while adopting sustainable farming practices that preserve biodiversity. This is achievable through the innovations and technologies of the #plantscience sector.
Happy #BiodiversityDay
