“Historically, wildlife conservation and public health have been treated as separate topics, but growing evidence of the health impacts caused by environmental degradation shows that a collaborative and multisectoral approach is needed for successful public health interventions. With EcoHealth Alliance, I am excited to take part in mitigating One Health challenges caused by global modifications to the ecosystem and human-animal interaction, all while promoting conservation."
