Résumé :	Highly pathogenic avian influenza, sub-type H5N1 (HPAI H5N1) is a viral zoonotic disease that emerged in poultry in southeast Asia between 1997 and 2003. A series of outbreaks of the virus, historically unprecedented in their virulence and in their geographical spread across Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe, had major impacts on rural livelihoods linked to the keeping of domesticated birds (mainly poultry) and on nature conservation values (including major mortality of waterbirds on several Ramsar Sites). A lack of understanding of the role of wild birds in the epidemiology of the disease gave rise to some high-profile negative public attitudes toward waterbirds and their habitats.. It also noted a need to broaden the traditional perspectives of public health and their epidemiological approaches into one more closely aligned with the science of ecology, and for approaches to be more cross-sectoral in nature. The approach taken in this Handbook to providing a “guide to guidance” may offer elements of a model for other Ramsar guidance in future on similarly complex technical issues.
