As COVID-19 continues to inflict illness and misery across the Asia-Pacific region, three international organizations have vowed to collaborate and intensify their joint efforts to respond to all health threats, including zoonotic influenza, rabies, antimicrobial resistance and those affecting food safety, through a One Health approach. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have reaffirmed their joint commitment to work with their Members through multi-sectoral coordination. A joint Statement of Intent to Coordinate was signed by Asia-Pacific representatives from the organisations in support of the Tripartite One Health Coordination Group. The Regional Tripartite partners are committed to work with Members through multi-sectoral coordination efforts to support countries’ efforts to prevent and manage health threats and strengthen their coordinated efforts, with the aim of protecting the health of animals and people. The Tripartite One Health Coordination Group for Asia and the Pacific undertakes joint activities including regional workshops on multisectoral collaboration at the animal-human-ecosystems interface. In October 2020, regional representatives from the Tripartite organisations signed a Statement of Intent to Coordinate. This statement acknowledges the importance of close coordination and communication across sectors, and commits to working together to partner with their Member States and regional organisations to strengthen coordinated efforts to fight existing and emerging health threats.

This article is an abridged version of the Mangrove Action Project summary on the practice of the 'Restoration Community-Based Ecological Mangrove Restoration (CBEMR), which deals with mangrove restoration and focuses on facilitating natural regeneration. This summary has been developed for groups who want to start their own restoration project. Every site is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution for restoration. However, there are some general scientific principles to which all mangroves in the world adhere. The Mangrove rehabilitation is NOT like forest plantation in drylands, as the objectives are different: plants have to deal with salt and flooded soils, and elevation relative to sea level is of vital importance. Fortunately, there is a significant amount of published research, and the practical experience of MAP can be drawn on to avoid the mistakes that compromised previous projects.
