Home » Health and Environmental Stewardship Health & Environmental StewardshipAn increasing number of highly technical scientific and veterinary issues are influencing pet ownership and the quality of life for pets. PIJAC’s science team proactively addresses these issues. In support of your needs, we:
- Develop best practice guidelines and codes of conduct for animal care and husbandry.
- Monitor, analyze, and report on pressing issues such as invasive species (harmful, non-native species), zoonotic diseases (diseases transmitted between pets and humans), and the genetic modification of animals (often referred to as genetically-modified organisms, GMOs).
- Develop and implement proactive campaigns (Habitattitude™, for example) to minimize the impact of invasive species and diseases on pets, people, and the environment.
- Coordinate the activities of the PIJAC Pet Zoonoses Committee.
- Provide leadership on and expert guidance to relevant, high-level governmental and non-governmental committees.
