WAHID Interface - OIE World Animal Health Information Database
World Animal Health Information Database (WAHID) Interface The WAHID Interface provides access to all data held within OIE's new World Animal Health Information System (WAHIS). It replaces and significantly extends the former web interface named Handistatus II System. A comprehensive range of information is available from • immediate notifications and follow-up reports submitted by Country / Territory Members notifying exceptional epidemiological events current in their territory • six-monthly reports stating the health status of OIE-listed diseases in each Country / Territory. • annual reports providing health information and information on the veterinary staff, laboratories and vaccines, etc. ...The problem: The growing emission of carbon dioxide from a wide range of human activities is causing unprecedented changes to the land and sea. Identifying effective, efficient and politically acceptable approaches to reduce the atmospheric concentration of CO 2 is one of society’s most pressing goals. The blue carbon solution: One of the most promising new ideas to reduce atmospheric CO 2 and limit global climate change is to do so by conserving mangroves, seagrasses and salt marsh grasses.
