According to the event's organizers, "During this event, we will focus on the situation of indigenous populations in Latin America during the COVID-19 response. Esteban Ortiz Prado will share his experiences of how he reached indigenous populations in the Ecuadorian Amazon and present challenges he faces to offer testing and medical services to indigenous communities. This webinar also aims to stimulate our reflections on how much we can learn from indigenous populations about collectively living more sustainably to prevent future virus outbreaks and to protect our planet. " A recording can be found on the event webpage.

According to the event's organizers, "The pathogens that cause diseases like COVID-19, SARS, and Ebola originated in wildlife before making the jump to people. What causes zoonotic diseases to spill over? Are natural areas, and the biodiversity they hold, good or bad for our health? Can we manage animals to make the diseases they carry less likely to jump to people? These are among the questions that will be discussed."
