The Animals Manifesto for Preventing Pandemics: Building Forward with One Health One Welfare Principles

This 25-minute podcast explains the 2021 Animals' Manifesto to prevent pandemics, signed by over 150 eco & animal protection NGOs to influence international policy-making in support of One Health & One Welfare holistic approaches to considering the mutual welfare interests of humans and other species. "In Tune to Nature" radio host Carrie Freeman interviewed Jessica Bridgers of World Animal Net in early January 2021 to explain the manifesto's origins from the covid crisis, its signatories, its purpose, and its policy recommendations to transform animal farming, animal based food consumption, the wildlife trade, testing on animals for vaccines, and welfare implications for domesticated animals. 

In Tune to Nature is an eco and animal protection show hosted by Carrie Freeman on the indie, non-commercial station Radio Free Georgia (WRFG) that broadcasts on Wednesdays at 6:30pm EST in Atlanta on 89.3FM and streams worldwide at www.wrfg.org  Sonia Swartz and Melody Paris also serve as hosts.
