The IUCN BSG One Health Working Group was established in 2020 the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, originally with the goal to provide guidance and recommendations to people who work with or come in contact with bats.
Since then we have continued to work on research project and most recently developed general "field hygiene" guidelines for researchers to work safely with bats under general circumstances.
