Four specialist groups of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) Species Survival Commission (SSC) – Wildlife Health, Conservation, Reintroduction and Invasive Species – have brought together an international network of stakeholders (including wildlife veterinarians, epidemiologists, ecologists, modellers and biologists) to develop an integrated package of disease risk analysis (DRA) tools, focussed on wildlife and based on the best available science and technology. This resource will build on and extend a major revision of the Conservation Breeding Specialist Group's (CBSG) publication: "Animal Movements and Disease Risk: A Workbook", last published in 2005 (can be downloaded at http://www.cbsg.org/cbsg/risk/).
The aims of this survey are to identify:
• Who needs wildlife DRA tools
• The range of applications of these tools
• The Risk Analysis tools currently being used
• Improvements needed in DRA tools
• Training needs in the use of DRA tools
• In what form DRA tools would be most valuable
To help us we ask that you take 15 minutes to complete and submit this on-line survey. Pooled results will be compiled into a report and circulated to all survey respondents who provide an e-mail address.
