About the Film

When it comes to safeguarding global health, adopting a “One Health” approach is more critical than ever. This strategy recognises the interconnected nature of humans, animals, and the environment, treating them as part of a unified ecosystem.

Professor Stuart Reid, Principal of the Royal Veterinary College, emphasises how One Health brings together the big picture, acknowledging that disease spreads across species and spaces. By learning from history and building on past successes, such as the eradication of two major diseases, the One Health approach shows that collaboration is key. To do it right, education and a holistic understanding of the ecosystem are essential.
