About

This webpage explains the One Health approach, which connects human, animal, and environmental health. It describes how growing populations and changes in land use increase contact with animals, raising disease risks. Diseases like rabies and West Nile virus can spread between animals and people. The article highlights issues like antimicrobial resistance and climate change affecting health globally. Animals can warn of potential human illnesses as they share some diseases with humans. Collaboration across sectors is essential to address these challenges effectively for better health outcomes for all living beings in a shared environment.
