        <text><![CDATA[ <p><b>Preventing Future Pandemics Act of 2022</b></p> <p>This bill addresses issues related to the commercial trade in live wildlife for human consumption in other countries.</p> <p>For example, the bill requires the Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development to work with foreign governments, multilateral organizations, and nongovernmental organizations to carry out activities to (1) close wildlife markets and prevent associated commercial trade in live wildlife, (2) improve regulatory oversight and eliminate practices that contribute to zoonotic spillover and emerging pathogens, and (3) offer alternative livelihood and worker training programs to individuals and communities currently engaged in the commercial trade in live wildlife for human consumption.</p>]]></text>
