Summary:[...] conservation projects in the Congo, Southern Sudan, and many other conflict zones are being used to develop civil society and sustainable economic opportunities. Recently, we obtained funding to expand the study of diseases affecting wildlife and livestock in a cross-border collaborative project with Afghan, Pakistani, and Tajik participants. Because the wildlife in this region moves across borders, management of these natural resources is best done cooperatively.
