Awareness & Prevention

The H5N1 Prevention Initiative is a multi-prong global campaign combating avian influenza.

As a One Health advocate, wildlife enthusiast, and activist filmmaker, Jack Aronian founded the initiative to underscore the pandemic potential of bird flu.

As part of the COVID generation, Aronian aims to protect all creatures, great and small, from zoonotic disease.

Aronian views avian and wildlife centers and their conservation partners as key intermediaries for raising HPAI awarenness and the dissemination of public-sector information.

The H5N1 Prevention Initiative comprises a documentary featuring experts' perspectives,

a hub for wildlife centers to share bird flu strategies, and a fundraiser to support centers' HPAI efforts.

Please join the H5N1 Prevention Initiative in protecting wildlife and global health.
