                        When it comes to the COVID-19 crisis, the United 
Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is supporting global efforts to protect 
biodiversity, to put an end to the illegal trade in wildlife, to safeguard 
the handling of chemicals and waste and to promote economic recovery plans 
that take nature and the climate emergency into account. Read on for recent 
online highlights from UNEP.

                        To help prevent further outbreaks of zoonotic 
viruses like COVID-19, illegal wildlife trade and destruction of habitats 
must stop. We cannot go back to business as usual. We will need to rebuild 
by working with nature, not against it.
