Ava Sullivan
Project Manager and Research Scientist
The ‘alliance’ in EcoHealth Alliance refers not only to the connection between human, animal, and environmental health. The ‘alliance’ refers also to the global network of experts working across sectors on solutions to health and conservation challenges. Disasters such as pandemics, extinction events, storms, and droughts are complex events which require systems thinking and dynamic problem solving. Using a One Health approach, we are able to tear down silos between disciplines, and begin to ask the right questions regarding how to move forward.
