This document outlines a One Health and conservation strategy with four main objectives: disease prevention, routine health monitoring, rapid response to outbreaks, and disease diagnosis and investigation. The strategy includes hygiene and health rules, potential great ape vaccinations, and a standard employee health program. Routine monitoring involves collecting and analyzing biological samples and health data. Emergency response involves rapid diagnosis, treatment, and research of outbreaks. The impact has been early detection of diseases like Ebola, improved human and wildlife health, and reduced threats to great apes.
