of people and animals. Only by breaking down the barriers
among agencies, individuals, specialties and sectors
can we unleash the innovation and expertise needed to
meet the many serious challenges to the health of people,
domestic animals, and wildlife and to the integrity of
ecosystems. Solving today’s threats and tomorrow’s
problems cannot be accomplished with yesterday’s approaches.
We are in an era of “One World, One Health”
and we must devise adaptive, forward-looking and multidisciplinary
solutions to the challenges that undoubtedly
lie ahead.
