Nature, Trade and Human Health | Yorkseed House, NYC

How do we stop the next global health crisis before it starts?

During Climate Week NYC and the UN General Assembly, Yorkseed House brought together leaders from health, investment, international policy, conservation, and entrepreneurship for a panel and curated networking.

What the panel covered:

• How wildlife trade, habitat loss, and climate change raise risks to human health
• How data, diagnostics, and early-warning systems can catch emerging threats
• Where investment and entrepreneurship can strengthen prevention
• How governments, businesses, and investors can coordinate before a crisis begins

Featuring:

• Jessica Sophia Wong (host), founder and CEO of Yorkseed
• Rebecca Regnery, MSB, wildlife conservation and international policy leader
• Dr. Jon Epstein, veterinarian, epidemiologist, and founder of One Health Science
• Dr. Raina Plowright, disease ecologist and professor at Cornell University
• Harrison Carter, conservation scientist at the University of Oxford

​This conversation is designed for founders, investors, health leaders, policymakers, researchers, conservation professionals, foundations, and others working across global health, climate, technology, and capital.
