Rabies is still one of the most dangerous viral infectious diseases in much of the world and is fatal without exception. Around 99 % of all known rabies cases are due to the bite of an infected dog. Therefore, vaccinating dogs is one of the most effective measures to protect animals and humans equally from rabies.

Thursday 26. August 2021 / Category: Report, Global Food, Vaccination for Africa

In Austria, the quality standards for food are very high. Inspections along the whole supply chain are required by law. In developing countries, such as in Africa, controls are often inadequate, public awareness is low and the need for information is high.

Food fraud is not a phenomenon of modern times. It hast been around since food is being traded for money. The difference from the old days is that the quantities traded are getting bigger and bigger and the supply chains stretch all over the globe.

Lead primarily affects the nervous system. Intelligence deficits, motoric or growth disorders occur. For a baby's organism, heavy metals pose an even greater danger than for adults. Because babies utilize food particularly well. They take a fifth of their body weight daily in form of milk. Kidneys and liver are not fully developed yet and cannot detoxify an infant's body to the same extent as in...

Dangerous ingredients in foods, such as arsenic, lead or melamine, are an even more dangerous to babies than adults, as kidney and liver are not fully developed yet. | © Veterinarians without Borders

Melamine is a white, odourless powder used, among other things, for the production of plastic and adhesives. When we recall the melamine scandal surrounding Chinese baby food in 2008, unscrupulous fraudsters adulterated milk powder and other dairy products with melamine to fake a higher protein content. The consequences: Eleven infants died of kidney failure and around 300,000 children fell sick...

Did you know that an estimated one tenth of all food worldwide is circulated with fraudulent intentions? In Africa alone, the estimated number is even higher. The perpetrators are often mafia-like criminal organisations.

For several years now, Veterinarians without Borders has been on the trail of global food fraud. Due to targeted focal actions, we have been able to remove milk...

Rangelands Atlas | © ILRI et al.

Over half of the world’s terrestrial surface consists of rangelands. They store large amounts of carbon. Nevertheless, unlike forest landscapes, they are given little attention in national climate plans. The recently published "Rangelands Atlas" illustrates the impressive size of the global rangelands. It highlights the importance of rangelands to climate, flora and fauna and, not least, the...
