Abstract

As we attempt to tackle global challenges like species extinction, population decline of wild species, emerging infectious diseases, climate change, etc. It is worth exploring the collaborations between different fields to achieve the common goal of one health. One Health is a collaborative approach- working with local, regional and global levels- with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes while recognising the connections between people, animals, plants and their environment. Conservation medicine is an interdisciplinary field where different individual working within the boundaries of their own field collaborate in order to provide solutions to a common problem. As the field of conservation medicine is evolves, it aims to become a transdisciplinary approach which requires people to develop new approaches and methodologies that span across disciplinary boundaries.
