- 10. P: Pathogen Spread Prevention - Encouraging sanitation practices - Providing resources to carry out the sanitation practices - Utilize social media and representatives to spread information
- 11. - Education of Gen-Z, increasing literacy, awareness, and establishes a base for future prevention - Gen-Z more likely to believe scientific proof with the incorporation of cultural values - Gen-Z can bring CHANGE. They have done so and continue to do so! E: Education for GEN-Z
- 12. - Border surveillance systems that are updated and on- par to current zoonotic disease detection - Data collection from part A helps identify how much the technology already existing needs to be improved/replaced. S: Surveillance Systems @ Borders
- 13. Feasibility 03
- 14. - Representatives are from each individual culture and their audience are people in their communities. - Implementation of a policy through help of Gen-Z, existing organizations, petitions, and policy makers - Cost-benefit analysis as an ideology to appeal to those who give us funding, such as the government, investors, and the vast public (donations) - Scale-up model: starting with two countries and expanding to the whole world to implement learnings as we go
- 16. - Utilize the APES action plan - Understand the underlying costs and other considerations to think about - Work towards policy making globally

- Sushruti- The following is our guiding question, which can be interpreted in many ways in finding a solution, but we chose to go on the route of establishing a worldwide non-profit organization that takes steps that will be listed subsequently in order to reach the goal.
- Sushruti
- Sushruti: Problem: Many regions of the world do not currently have pathogen surveillance in the borders of the imports and exports of livestock and animals. In fact, the US does not currently have a law/policy requiring disease surveillance of wildlife entering the country and china’s systems are very outdated. The implementation of these surveillance systems can help be more keen with observing zoonotic pathogens but the issue of illegal wildlife trading will probably still coexist because of animals internally in each country reproducing and people trading these animals. It is safe to say with the research that has already been done that the virus is transmitted from an animal which makes it even more pertinent to control such trades and keep in mind what is being sold in terms of pathogen transmission to the general public.
- Amita
- Amita: Our strategy is utilizing non profit organizations to advocate for policy making regarding sureviallance zoonotic pathogens and education. The organization is named Gen Z for APES. The premise of this organization is to find global solutions in combating wildlife trade for the spread of the SARS virus and other zoonotic pathogens. Each section (APES) will cover an important goal to accomplish by the organization. In making this organization, we will incorporate all global leaders’ perspectives and have a culturally diverse individuals/researchers specialized in each component. Data shows that our ancestors and the current human population of the world will use cultures and religion to go about making their decisions, but in the future, GEN Z is more likely to follow science because of the repercussions of what is happening right now amidst the pandemic and the public display of historical data of virus spread.
- Part 1: Animals & Vetting at borders Amita : Starting off, our first step is to establish an organization, that will span to be a nonprofit worldwide in 10 years, through which we will implement APES. The organization will have representatives, volunteers, researchers, and more, that are from all different backgrounds, giving cultural diversity to come up with solutions regarding the spread of zoonotic viruses. In this step we will identify areas of lots of livestock and wet markets, as well as the spread of wildlife through the use of site specific modeling to understand future risk as well as historic patterns to predict the movement of humans and animals affecting the spread of viruses. Using this data it will make it more clear as to where the security surveillance systems, which we will discuss more in the upcoming slides, will be placed to ensure safety. Our next step, after registering as a nonprofit in each country, would be to implement a policy that takes action on the imports and exports of wildlife, and have it tested in a lab before exiting and entering a country, which can help curb the spread of unknown pathogens. As part of the policy, import security at the borders will also be heavily vetted to help curb illegal wildlife trading and safely carry out procedure that only lets in animals/meat that has been tested. implicit borders that are placed by mapping stuff out blah brain dump
- Part 2: Pathogen Spread Prevention Sushruti: Here we highlight the prevention methods, such as sanitation and simple hygiene, cooking food, sticking to buying certified foods whether it is plants based or animal based, to get rid of pathogens. These messages will be delivered from the organization to Gen-Z to spread among urban and suburban communities by utilizing tools such as social media and community gatherings. Through the use of culturally diverse representatives of each country, these messages can be conveyed to those of rural backgrounds.
- Part 3: GEN Z EDUCATION Sushruti: Illegal wildlife trade is still going to be a co-existent issue even with the implementation of surveillance of pathogens at the borders. So, to make it more of a public issue, using social media, as well as volunteers from the organization who are culturally knowledgeable about the country assigned, to talk to the new generation about this issue and encourage this to be studied more in health classes. By doing this, the knowledge is implemented at a young age, creating more literacy, and hence it prevents the future spread of illegal wildlife trade. This underlying effect can be assumed it is going to happen because education drives the understanding of our actions we choose to make, and implementing such things at such a young age will normalize such behaviors in their future. However, there is still going to be some sort of cultural thinking and to make the message about wildlife trading make more sense the use of the culturally diverse representatives will help make the scientific understandings much more for well just understandable. When we reach a far enough impact on all these kids and publicity, Gen-Z would have a great influence to bring change as if enough of them come together to advocate for change, to increase the legitimacy of their country on the global perspective, countries will start to take some action in regards to surveillance and wildlife import/export vetting processes. Now that being said having a policy implemented globally will come with many challenges but the key is to try to show some mutual benefits for these countries such as economic gain or improving legitimacy in the global perspective.
- Part 4: Implementation of border surveillance systems Sushruti : Researchers from the organization are going to study the current border surveillance systems that are being implemented for zoonotic pathogens in several countries and get a global perspective of them from representatives. The steps in part A will help devise a solution for how much surveillance is truly needed amongst the borders. This data will be further used to develop a criterion as to how to how much technology is currently being needed in such borders and how current science can further develop the technology already being placed. Now of course border securities are very much governmentally regulated so with the publicity of the organization having representatives will be able to appeal to policy makers.

- Amita Afeasability We will take the scale up model appraoch where we wil Partner with other organizations in the beginning like the WWF to find a means for funding and focus on one or two countries before expanding globally. -Getting representatives Have organization board members reach out to different countries and find representatives who are culturally knowledgeable about their country. Pfeasability Representatives spread the word about sanitation and cooking food, while through fundraisers, investors, and help from the government, we can ensure that these people get fed certified food as well as access to necessary sanitation. Sfeasability Starting off with the money aspect: We will employ the use of cost benefit analysis - how much money you out in money vs how much return in terms of all the benefits: such as lives, better future, and the use of bright minds We will take the scale up model appraoch where we wil Partner with other organizations in the beginning like the WWF to find a means for funding and focus on one or two countries before expanding globally. -Getting representatives Have organization board members reach out to different countries and find representatives who are culturally knowledgeable about their country. Using this ideology of cost benefit analysis we will determining how much money to truly spend in border securities for the surveillance of zoonotic pathogens using the data collected in step A. This data will show us how much money we need to spend to safely trade wild animals and livestock. In order to accommodate culturally driven countries, having many representatives from each country work in the non profit will create jobs and give a perspective on how to carry out information regarding wildlife trade to such areas.
