Why community volunteers will be essential for how NZ handles the arrival of bird flu

Summary

85% Informative

The deadly bird flu virus was first detected in the southern hemisphere in 2023 and spread through South America to the sub-Antarctic islands and the Antarctic peninsula.

It has devastated wild bird populations globally, with millions of dead birds recorded at more than 2,600 separate clusters.

Globally, the virus has also spilled over into mammals, causing deaths in cats, dogs, bears, foxes and skunks.

Community groups will inevitably deal with this pandemic, but to do so safely, they need clear guidelines and personal protective equipment.

Compassion fatigue and post-traumatic stress disorder are common and can be especially severe without adequate training and support to help people cope.

New Zealand should urgently develop a more detailed national strategy.
