The One Health concept recognizes that the health of people is closely linked to the health of animals and the environment. The One Health approach encourages the collaborative efforts of the human health, veterinary health, and environmental health communities working locally, nationally, and globally, to achieve optimal health for people, animals, and our environment. The One Health concept has become more important in recent years because many factors such as population growth, globalization of commerce, finance, production, and services, environmental changes such as climate change and deforestation, ever-increasing movement of people, animals, plants, food, and feed have altered the interactions among humans, animals, and the environment.
