One Health World

Animal health, human health and environmental health are intrinsically intertwined and interdependent. We share the land, the resources and the microbes. As more than 60 percent of pathogens that cause human diseases originate from domestic animals or wildlife, protecting the health of animals and the environment also protects human health. Therefore, containing antimicrobial resistance requires a coordinated One Health approach that takes all these links into account.

“People tend to forget that they are living in an ecosystem where every animal, plant, and person shares the same resources. We are part of this world as much as it is part of us.
Our health and wellbeing are deeply connected to nature and all the living creatures around us. This is a gentle reminder to appreciate our planet and to live in harmony with it, rather than endlessly exploiting and contaminating its resources.”
