Protecting forests means protecting health

IPB joined the official launch of Dzanga-Sangha Protected Areas Day, attended by the President of the Republic.

Prof. Fabian Leendertz (@helmholtzhzi.bsky.social) highlighted the importance of #DzangaSangha as a #OneHealth model, where biodiversity, public health, & advanced research come together.

84% of bacteria tested in our lab are multi-drug resistant.
ESBL explosion (2006→2023): 3.78% → 85.30% in children’s stool samples.
71% of confirmed sepsis cases are in children.
Not a projection — it’s our 2024 data from Bangui
We’re fighting back through research & innovation.
