Sino-French conference One Health and conservation: meeting the challenge

11/09/2025

The Sino-French laboratory of wildlife management and ecosystem health (WiMEH) organises a conference on One Health and conservation in Leshan from October 12 to 15.

The world faces interlinked and mutually reinforcing crises of biodiversity loss, water and food insecurity, health and climate change. The IPBES Nexus Assessment has provided evidence that addressing them in separate silos is ineffective and counterproductive. One Health is a framework jointly endorsed by the World Health Organization, the World Organisation for Animal Health, the Food and Agriculture Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme. It affirms the nexus between human, animal, plant and ecosystem health.

Close to Mt Emei National Reserve at the Leshan Normal University, the conference will gather world specialists to address how solutions to biological conservation issues are necessarily nexus-based and how the One Health framework is relevant to breaking down siloed thinking and finding co-benefits in promoting the protection of biodiversity and the health of people, animals, plants and ecosystems.
