Keller, White head to mayoral runoff election

By Jaden McKelvey-Francis @jadenmckelvey

Election Day has come and gone, but voters will soon have to return to the polls to cast their ballots for a second time this year.

The Albuquerque mayoral race is

headed to a runoff election between incumbent Mayor Tim Keller and former Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White. The election will be held Dec. 9, with early voting taking place from Dec. 1 through 6. In the regular election, Keller won first place with 36% of the

vote, and White came in second with 31%; a runoff is triggered if no candidate passes the 50% margin needed to win.

The mayor’s race will not be the only race on the ballot as runoff elections for city council districts one and three will be held as well.

Lobo food pantry feeds students during shutdown

Rep. Stansbury visits food bank

In light of federal funding for the anti-hunger Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program lapsing on Nov. 1, many people are looking for other sources to find food.

For University of New Mexico students, the Lobo Food Pantry can be one of those resources. The pantry is primarily student-run and allows students with a UNM ID to take up to 10 pounds of items, including fresh produce, canned goods and hygiene items per day, the Director of UNM’s LoboRESPECT Advocacy Center, Lisa Lindquist, said.

“Our biggest thing that we try to think about is we want people to feel comfortable using this space. What we see a lot are students saying, ‘Well, other people deserve it more than I do.’ And the truth is that that’s just

not true, that’s a myth. Anybody who needs its food should come in and use it,” Lindquist said.

The Lobo Food Pantry was established in 2014 to address student food insecurity on campus and serves 100 to 150 students per day, Lindquist said.

“For us, we’re kind of doing some business-as-usual things, because regardless of (a student’s) status as a SNAP beneficiary, that’s not a requirement for (the pantry), so anyone can access the resource as long as they’re a student,” Lindquist said.

On Thursday, Nov. 6, Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D) visited the pantry as part of a tour of food banks across the state’s first congressional district to talk to students, staff and workers.

“The reality is the best way to combat hunger is to combat poverty, and we do that by building our economy, by creating ladders of opportunity for young people, helping to reskill and retool people

for different economic opportunities. But it all goes together, and so part of why highlighting programs like a food pantry is really important is that families do what they have to survive,” Stansbury said.

Stansbury said one of the things she’s seen is people going to food banks because of the price of groceries and a need for fresh produce, “not just because of the shutdown and the SNAP crisis.”

“It’s a great resource for students who need food to come down and help, or come down and grab that food, or any other resources, as well as the self-care items that we offer,” Miles Marshall, a UNM sophomore who works at the pantry, said.

Junior Elise Rivera, another student worker at the pantry, said she wants people to know that the pantry offers more items than just food.

“I feel like a lot of people focus on the food aspect of the pantry, but we do have feminine care,

District one saw four candidates — the most of any city council race — as City Councilor Louie Sanchez chose to run for mayor instead of a second city council term. Stephanie Telles led the race with 36% of the vote and will face Joshua Taylor Neal — who received second place and 26% of the vote — in the runoff.

This year’s local elections saw a large increase in turnout compared to previous years; approximately 134,000 people voted in the Albuquerque mayoral race, nearly 15,000 more than in the 2021 mayoral race and 37,000 more than the 2017 mayoral race, according to unofficial results from the New Mexico Secretary of State’s Office.

White said the turnout indicates that voters want a change, while Keller pointed to national trends and said that the high number of candidates helped drive turnout.

Keller said he expects the runoff election to be more focused on the differences between the candidates and their records than the regular election.

“This is a very distinct choice, and so you can’t do that without actually talking about someone’s record, which is why I’m doing that right now. You have to draw a contrast, because we are totally different people. And (White) would agree with that, actually,”

Keller said.

White said that he expects Keller to “resort to attacking” him instead of running on “results.”

Both candidates said that they expected the upcoming runoff, but were pleased with their Election Day performance.

Perhaps the more unexpected mayoral election result came in third place, as former U.S. attorney for New Mexico, Alex Uballez, received 19% of the vote when he was polling at only 6% in late September, according to the

Albuquerque Journal.

White and Keller both exceeded their poll numbers, as Keller was projected to receive 29% and White 16%, with 37% of likely voters being undecided at the time of the poll.

Both campaigns seem likely to maintain their key messages from the regular election, with Keller presenting himself as an experienced leader.

“These are tough times, and we need strong, experienced leadership to keep our city moving forward and to keep going in a direction that works for everyone in Albuquerque, and this election represents that very choice, because the alternative is a massive backslide into a Trump-like city that no one wants to see again,” Keller said.

White maintained his regular campaign messaging in the wake of the runoff announcement, positioning himself as tough on crime.

“If you believe that the mayor has done a good job on the big issues like crime and lawlessness, then vote for him. But if you think that we can do a hell of a lot better, then I just say, join our team, because we will make a difference, and we will make Albuquerque a city we can all once again be proud of,” White said.

UNM launches first comprehensive Sustainability Strategic Plan

By Jaden McKelvey-Francis @jadenmckelvey

After over a year of preparation and planning, the University of New Mexico announced its first comprehensive Sustainability Strategic Plan to organize the University’s sustainability goals into two main areas, on Oct. 29.

The plan’s two focuses are transforming campus operations and building sustainability engagement and culture. The first section of transforming campus operations contains measurable goals and objectives to create greater sustainability on campus, and the second section focuses on building culture and community within the University.

The Director of UNM’s Office of Sustainability, Anne Jakle, said the first steps in the creation of the plan were to gather a baseline of data and to learn what the University community’s priorities are.

The process, which began in April of last year, included focus groups, two public town halls and a campuswide survey.

The plan sets UNM to meet the standards of State of New Mexico Executive Order 2019-003, which aims to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions to 45% below 2005 levels by 2030. UNM has reduced its

emissions by 11% since 2005.

Jakle said the plan is ambitious, but she believes the goal is achievable, and the release of the Sustainability Strategic Plan puts the University on the path to accomplishing it.

“I believe that every action and goal that we have put in this plan is achievable, or at least that we can be on a pathway to achieving it in the next five years,” Jakle said.

Jakle said that the Sustainability Department is looking at multiple ways to get funding for projects on campus, including using preexisting university funds, federal grants and rebates, energy savings performance contracts and state legislature appropriated funding.

Some of the projects the plan hopes to implement include shifting the University’s heating system to a geothermal-based system, modernizing the University’s irrigation system, increasing access to recycling infrastructure, enhancing composting systems and investigating the idea of an on-site composting facility and expanding bike, pedestrian and micromobility infrastructure on and near campus.

“I think collaborations are the key to implementing this plan, and they’re the key to sustainability in general,” Jakle said. “When we can work together and bring more resources towards these things,

that’s great.”

For each of the action items in the plan, the organization or department that will champion that initiative is listed, and ranges from Parking and Transportation Services, to UNM Food, to the UNM Golf Courses.

“The idea is it draws from areas all over campus so that everybody’s coordinating and moving in the same direction. And then there’ll be touch points multiple times a year for those groups to come together on sustainability, what we’re doing, implementation, reaching our targets and then it could enable more coordination across campus,” Jakle said.

The Sustainability Department hopes to expand the number of events it hosts to spread awareness of its efforts around campus, and plans to host at least five per academic year and collaborate with student groups to co-host those events, Jakle said.

“We’re going to amp up the communication. One of the things we found in the strategic planning process was that lots of good things are going on, but nobody knows about it,” Jakle said.

Another part of the plan is to create a sustainability corps of student representatives to engage in peer education and outreach, and the creation of a campus-wide Sustainability Advisory Council.

“Getting the Sustainability Council up and running will be a core priority, and mapping all the implementation of the plan, and also getting that sustainability corps up and running as well. I think you’ll be seeing a lot more communications and programming out of our office now that we have the capacity,” Jakle said.

Jakle said that UNM has done a lot of work on sustainability in the past and this plan is a way to move the University forward in the same direction.

“We really do need the

engagement of students, staff and faculty, and the support across campus to both through individual behavioral actions and also through supporting some of these bigger campus initiatives. To really succeed in the implementation of this plan, everybody has a role to play,” Jakle said.

In October, the Trump administration announced that SNAP would not be funded in November due to the government shutdown, the first time since its creation that funds would not be dispersed to users, according to NPR.

The Trump administration agreed to partially fund SNAP on Nov. 3, though the amount that would be paid out to SNAP users, or when those funds would be dispersed, was not clear, according to The Associated Press.

A Rhode Island federal judge ordered the Trump administration to fully pay out SNAP benefits for the month by Friday, Nov. 7; however, the administration filed an appeal to block the order, claiming there is not enough money in the government’s contingency fund to disperse funds, according to The AP. The appeal was denied by a federal Appeals Court

before being granted by the U.S. Supreme Court later that day.

On Sunday, Nov. 9, President Donald Trump’s administration demanded states “undo” federal SNAP benefits paid out before the appeal was granted, according to The AP.

On Oct. 29, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced in a press release that $30 million in state funding would be distributed to the EBT cards of eligible New Mexicans on Nov. 1, the day SNAP funds would have been released, to support individuals for the first 10 days of November.

The suspension of SNAP benefits affected 42 million Americans nationwide, including 460,000 New Mexicans — 21% of its population, the highest percentage of any state — who rely on SNAP to put food on the table, according to the press release.

According to the 2023-24 UNM Basic Needs Report, 58% of students experience food insecurity, with 39% experiencing very low food security, the most severe category.

Lujan Grisham called a special

state legislative session, set for Nov. 10, to extend state-funded food assistance to New Mexicans and SNAP users, she announced in a press release.

“New Mexico has really stepped up and led the way in making sure that we’re caring for our families, even in the most vulnerable times. Of course, this isn’t sustainable long term for our state because of the amount of resources it takes to feed our people, but we’re one of the only states in the country right now that has essentially said, we’re not going to let people go hungry,” Stansbury said.

UNM Art Museum pauses gallery exhibitions for ‘Collections Year’

By Addison Fulton @DailyLobo

The walls of the University of New Mexico Art Museum are bare now, but the space is packed with potential as collections workers catalog and curate new additions to the museum’s collection.

In 2024, The University of New Mexico Art Museum announced it was the recipient of a gift of over 100 photographs from the collection of Daniel Greenberg and Susan Steinhauser, collectors based in Los Angeles, California. The influx of art prompted the museum to temporarily pause gallery showings and embark on their “Collections Year” project.

Collections Year is a catch-all name for an unprecedented, difficultto-define era for the museum, Collections Manager for the UNM Art Museum Andrea Perez-Martinez said. For the first time, UNMAM has

closed its galleries; however, its study rooms remain open and accessible for visitors and classes.

“We don’t have exhibition programming, our galleries are temporary workspaces in order to execute really foundational collection management procedures,” Perez-Martinez said. “We’ve got in this past year and now this year as well, in 2024 and 2025, we got some really large gifts in the form of artwork. We have a few hundred new artworks that have come into the museum that need to be condition reported, cataloged and essentially just processed into the museum.”

Condition reports document any signs of damage and ensure that protective measures are working properly.

“The goal of any museum that has a permanent collection, especially one of our size, is to continue the stewardship and care for the works. It’s important to do regular

condition reporting in order to track the deterioration of the artwork,” Perez-Martinez said. “We have prints and drawings that are from the 15th century. They’re not in perfect condition and they’re not meant to be. Things deteriorate. That’s just the nature of everything, including artwork.”

Collections Year has created jobs for 12 collections apprentices who receive hands-on experience in art preservation, museum studies and more general museum work, PerezMartinez said.

“The artwork itself kind of guides the day. When we’re working with really big artwork, it means that we need more people to help carry or move it. Especially in different parts of the museum, somebody holding the doors in order to come in and out of different spaces is crucial. It means that we need more people,” PerezMartinez said.

Lobos earn victory against Mavericks

UNM’s defense secures victory despite

By Wyatt S. Padilla @wyattspadilla

The Lobos put on a display of defense that led the Lobos to a blowout victory of 74-56 at The Pit on Saturday, Nov. 8, when the University of New Mexico men’s basketball team hosted the University of Texas at Arlington Mavericks.

Forward Tomislav Buljan led the Lobos in scoring, as the freshman had 17 points, shooting six of eight on the night, drawing six fouls and converting five of seven at the freethrow line. Lobos guard Deyton Albury also chipped in 15 points and helped lead the defensive front, creating three steals while being a pest for the Mavericks.

Last year, the Lobos were one of the fastest-paced teams in the country. This year, the defense has led the way for the team two games into the season, with the Lobos’ offense seeming a bit disjointed at times.

In the first half of the game, the Lobos shot 33% and went 14% from the three-point line as a cold front was moving in on the team near the baskets. Still, Albury was able to convert for the Lobos, scoring 10 points by halftime, which surpassed his total from the last game of six points.

The Lobos were being forced to rely on their defense; New Mexico held the Mavericks to an even icier 22% from the field and 13% from the three. The Lobos were also able to force 14 turnovers in the first half; nine of those came from steals from six different Lobos. UNM had 13 of their 31 points at the break off of those turnovers and led 31-19.

Coming out of halftime, the Lobos and Mavericks got their shooting percentages up and some baskets to fall compared to the first half, but once again, it was all the Lobos.

is tracking artworks movements and ensuring the museum knows where a given object is. Once conditions report are completed and artworks are catalogued that are assigned the information typically seen on museum labels, such as title, artist and year, are added.

The Steinhauser gift contains roughly 60 artworks and over 150 objects. An object is any given piece, such as a photograph, whereas an artwork can be made up of multiple objects, Perez-Martinez said.

The size and source of the gift is indicative of UNMAM’s growing reputation high quality teaching institution, Perez-Martinez said.

“She is a really generous art collector and tends to donate artwork to renowned museums and academic museums across the country. So, the fact that we’re on her radar, I would say, is a big deal,” Perez-Martinez said.

icy first-half shooting

Buljan stole the show in the second half of the game and went off, scoring 13 points, going four of four, getting to the free throw line, converting five of seven, with 12 of his points coming from inside the paint. Buljan’s increased presence inside the paint helped free up some space on the court, making it easier for the team to convert offensively.

The Lobos were able to shoot 48% and 33% from three, making their game shooting percentages on the night 40% and 23%, compared to the Mavericks’ shooting percentages, which were heavily affected by the Lobos’ defense, 35% and 12% from three.

Defense was the star of the show, as UNM forced another nine turnovers, five of which being steals, which brought their total of the game to 23 turnovers from 14 steals that led to 32 points scored off of those turnovers.

The Lobos also notched 15 assists in the game, as guard Chris Howell took credit for a third of those assists.

A sore spot for UNM was rebounding, as the Lobos were out-rebounded by UTA 38-30, and gave up 14 offensive rebounds to the Mavericks.

Stellar defense and bounce-back offense led the Lobos to a massive win, where they once again held the opposing team to under 60 points and defeated the opponent by double figures.

Though happy with the result, Lobos Head Coach Eric Olen made it clear that UNM still have a lot of room to grow.

“I expect us to really improve as the season goes along. I don’t think we’re anywhere close to our best basketball, on both sides of the ball,” Olen said.

The Lobos will be back in action at home on Tuesday, Nov. 11, against the University of California Riverside Highlanders at the Pit.

UNM Art Museum’s Communications and Outreach Specialist Kathy Freise emphasized UNMAM’s use and sharing of the work as a special attribute that appeals to donors.

“(The Steinhauser gift) reinforces what we have done here, what we do here and what we will do here. One of the components I think that appealed,

‘Festival

and I’ve heard this from others too, is that the works are included in the study room visits. Students are seeing them, faculty are seeing them. They’re hung in exhibitions. They’re not tucked away, never to be seen again. They’re becoming an active part of our mission as a teaching museum,” Freise said.

The museum ceased gallery exhibitions at the end of the 2025 spring semester to begin Collections Year. The museum will likely resume exhibitions in August, 2026, at the beginning of the 2026 fall semester. Despite exhibit pauses, Freise and Perez-Martinez both emphasized that the museum’s study rooms remain open as a resource for students and faculty as they shared that UNM Art Museum is first and foremost an educational institution.

“I’m happy when we do have visitors, even during Collections Year — especially during Collections Year,” Perez-Martinez said.

of Languages’ showcases multilingualism at UNM

By Lexis Lovato @lovatolexis

Individuals interested in sharing appreciation and education for multicultural communities and languages were brought together by the The Festival of Languages, which highlighted research, cultural and career presentations centered around language study made by graduate and undergraduate students, faculty and alumni.

The event was part of Research and Discovery week — and was held on Friday, Nov. 7 — which is a list of scheduled events that promote the research enterprise of the University of New Mexico and the opportunities available to researchers.

Presentations in the event focused on how, and where, multilingualism thrives throughout areas like healthcare, community service and education.

The festival had 28 total presentations that covered the power of language in artificial intelligence, French to African translations, how the Albuquerque Police Department bridges language barriers, government language, pronouns in different languages, Pueblo Hand Talk, American Sign Language, Spanish, Chinese and other languages.

Some lab sessions were also based around activities, allowing attendees to learn by participating in

things like Japanese tea ceremonies and origami.

Molly Arévalo, the associate director of the UNM Language Learning Center, said this was the first year that the University held the event. Before the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020, there used to be a Language EXPO, but the EXPO was geared towards informing high school students of different languages available to study at UNM, she said. Arévalo said the Language Learning Center is interested in restarting something reminiscent of those programs.

Arévalo said a big part of her job is encouraging students to take language courses, because she is a lover of language herself.

“I see so many values in studying languages, and so I really wish that a lot of students would consider not just taking that one required course but, the more courses you take, the more fluent you become, the more proficient you become, and the more communicative skills that you have to connect with other people,” Arévalo said.

Arévalo said that learning another language “expands your perspective of the world and makes you a more global citizen.”

Lobos win over Aggies in offensive comeback

By Wyatt S. Padilla @wyattspadilla

On Sunday, Nov. 9, the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team hosted the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University Aggies. The Lobos were forced to rely on defensive pressure as the Aggies were a tough bug to swat away.

New Mexico’s offense had its moments, allowing the Lobos to stay in pace or jump ahead, but overall could be disjointed, as they were forced to work for their 71-64 win. That is not to say the flow of the game was serene; it was more like hitting every light on Central Ave., as 44 fouls were called, half of which were on UNM.

Lobo guard Destinee Hooks led UNM in scoring, as the junior had 20 points, shooting

46% on the night, drawing three steals and gaining four boards.

Guard Nayli Padilla had a career high of 15 points and hit two back-to-back threes in the fourth quarter, sparking an offensive run of 10-0 to put the Lobos on top for the rest of the game.

Defense was key for the Lobos in the first two quarters of the game as they struggled to get anything going offensively due to shot selection and disjointed movement.

The Lobos finished the first half of the game shooting 37% after ending the first quarter at 25%. The biggest struggles in the half for the Lobos came from the three-point line, from which they went two of 10, and the free-throw line, once again, as the team shot 44%. Hooks finished the first half with nine points, but struggled to get going early on in the game.

UNM was able to force 16

turnovers in the first half of the game, as 11 of those turnovers came from the Lobos stealing the ball, and three came from sophomore guard Joana Magallhaes.

The Lobos held the Aggies to 35% shooting but allowed the visiting team to shoot 57% from the three, which allowed North Carolina to stay in the game. New Mexico led at the break, 32-26, as Hooks was finally able to get going in the final five minutes of the half, scoring eight points.

Coming out of halftime, the Lobos were once again able to come out with a scoring run of nine to two, putting the Lobos up 13 points, their largest lead of the game.

That is when things went from good to bad, as UNM then went three of 16, which allowed for the Aggies to outscore UNM 29-15, putting the Aggies up 57-55 with about five minutes

to go.

Padilla sparked a 10-0 run with a pair of threes that put the Lobos in control of the rest of the game, as UNM wouldn’t allow the Aggies to come back into the game for the final five minutes.

Padilla was more than happy to get her opportunity to shine in the Pit.

“I’ve been working really hard, the team has been working really hard, and for me this is really, really good,” Padilla said.

The Lobos were overall able to get their game shooting percentages to 38% and 29% from three compared to the never-quitting Aggies’ shooting percentages of 40% and 55% from three.

Though the Aggies shooting percentages were high, that does not mean the Lobos’ defense was abysmal, as UNM forced a total of 24 turnovers from 16 steals

which led to 31 points scored off turnovers alone.

The Aggies forced UNM to 16 turnovers, which didn’t help the Lobos’ offense in their struggles. A weak spot for UNM was rebounding, as UNM was outrebounded by the slight margin of 37-35, much of which was affected by center Clarissa Craig being in foul trouble.

The Lobos will return to play at home on Wednesday, Nov. 12, against the University of New Orleans Privateers at the Pit.

Mammals and maps: UNM hosts ‘Wildlife without Borders’ talk

By Addison Fulton @DailyLobo

Against the backdrop of shifting literal and social climates, a Fulbright scholar reminded listeners that “Wildlife don’t know anything about the political world.”

The speaker, Jesús Fernández, was one member of the “Wildlife Without Borders: Conserving Mammals Across the U.S. Southwest and Northwestern Mexico” panel hosted by the University of New Mexico Latin American and Iberian Studies Department on Thursday, Nov. 6. The panel included four speakers — Fernández, Jason Malaney, Enrique Martínez Meyer and Cuauhcihuatl Vital García — alongside moderator and historian Samuel Truett.

Fernández is a professor of taxonomy and systematics of biodiversity at Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua. He focuses primarily on the evolution and conservation of mammals and discussed the biodiversity in the transboundary region at the event.

Fernández said there are over a thousand species of vertebrates, including 330 species of mammals, in the area intersected by the U.S.Mexico border. In both Chihuahua and New Mexico, 206 mammal

species have been documented, meaning their habitats and range span across the boundary.

The region is a biodiversity hotspot, Fernández said, but its transboundary position creates a conservation challenge, as the U.S. and Mexico must work collectively to protect the species that call the border region home.

“Conservation policies must be binational, must be science-based and collaborative,” Fernández said.

Fernández also advocated for more robust museums, specimen collections, and more sampling efforts in Southern New Mexico and Northern Mexico to increase the amount of information available to conservationists.

Malaney, the current curator of biosciences at the UNM New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Sciences, began his talk by having the audience look at and reflect on an image of “Methuselah,” a bristlecone pine in California that Malaney said is thought to be the oldest living organism on the planet. The tree is over 4,000 years old.

“I introduced this here tonight because this is an example of an organism that can tell us a story, and that transcends to all organisms on the planet,” Malaney said. “As

scientists, we have a responsibility to tell the stories for these organisms.”

Malaney’s talk was an in-depth look at “Sky-Islands,” which are areas of isolated mountain peaks and forests otherwise separated by desert. Sky Islands serve as “natural laboratories,” allowing scientists to see how species arise and the impacts of adaptation, Malaney said.

Sky Islands are threatened by climate change. The “cool and wet” habitats many species need to survive are rapidly disappearing as a result of climate change, endangering and wiping out species, Malaney said.

“There is a massive change that is on the horizon. So that likely spells a lot of conservation challenges for many of these species,” Malaney said.

For his talk, Martínez Meyer, a professor at the Institute of Biology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, shared his experience working with Mexican wolf reintroduction and conservation. Meyer’s team is currently trying to introduce the wolves to Durango, Colorado, he said.

Martínez Meyer said that in the 1970s, the Mexican wolf was all but extinct. From a population of just seven individuals in 1982, a healthy population was able to emerge in the southwestern United States. Efforts

to stabilize the population in Mexico are ongoing, he said.

“We have to acknowledge that the two countries have large asymmetry in this matter. We in Mexico don’t have the same financial capacity or human capacity for running the program as it happens in the U.S.,” Martínez Meyer said.

Martínez Meyer called for consistent, bi-national efforts that are stable and do not restart with every administration change in one nation or the other. Martínez Meyer expressed his belief in the possibility and importance of the efforts.

“I think that preserving this transboundary area is not only a matter of will. I think it’s our obligation,” Martínez Meyer said.

The final speaker, Vital García, is a professor at the School of Veterinary Medicine at the Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez. Her specialty is in parasites and pathogens, discussing the diverse amounts of parasites found on animals that can be signs of a healthy ecosystem with good biodiversity, at the event. Animal movements can be tracked in part based on what parasites they are carrying, she said.

“These guys are carrying these diseases, and because these guys are moving really long distances,

they are actually moving all these diseases long distances as well. And maybe perhaps across the border,” Vital García said. “All those stories suggested that maybe parasites are going to be indicators — bioindicators — and they’re gonna be telling us something about the health of that ecosystem.”

Parasites also carry zoonotic diseases, meaning that bi-national communication, research and collaboration can help slow the spread of animal-borne diseases and prevent harm to human and animal communities.

“We need to start sharing these databases across the borders. The fact that we are south of the border doesn’t mean that we’re gonna be not getting those diseases that are on the north side. So we need to start sharing databases,” Vital García said. “We need to also start working on more molecular diagnosis to identify pathogens that are going to be important for humans, yes, but also for wildlife.”
