One Health for the Real World: zoonoses, ecosystems and wellbeing
17–18 Mar 2016
This symposium will bring together leading experts from different fields to discuss the topic
‘Healthy ecosystems, healthy people’.
BOOK TICKETS
This symposium announcement comes from the Institue of Zoology website.
Ecosystems provide services that maintain and improve human wellbeing, such as food provisioning and
disease regulation however, they can also generate ‘disservices’, such as reservoirs for new, ‘emerging’
infectious disease from wildlife.
Health is a critical aspect of human wellbeing, interacting with material and social relations to contribute
to people’s freedoms and choices, especially in sub-Saharan Africa where clusters of health and disease
problems disproportionately affect poor people and contribute further to their poverty.
Healthy ecosystems and healthy people go together, yet the precise relationships between these remain
poorly understood.
Understanding the interactions between ecosystem change, disease regulation and human well being is an
interdisciplinary challenge which the scientific community is only beginning to address. In policy terms,
One Health and Ecohealth are converging approaches resting on the shared principle that the health of
humans, animals and ecosystems are interdependent.
There is, however, little integration in understanding the relationships between these sectors. Too often
research is divided between those who focus on environmental change and ecosystem services; those
who address socio-economic, poverty and wellbeing issues; and those who consider health and disease.
This leads to fragmented understandings and inadequate responses.
This symposium will bring together leading experts from different fields to:



Present new interdisciplinary frameworks for a real-world One Health approach.
Highlight evidence from field-based settings in Africa and beyond.
Debate implications for policy and practice.

Symposium organisers
The One Health for the Real World symposium is being organised by the Dynamic Drivers of Disease
in Africa Consortium in partnership with the Royal Society. The Dynamic Drivers of Disease in Africa
Consortium is a multidisciplinary research programme designed to deliver much-needed, cutting-edge
science on the relationships between ecosystems, zoonoses, health and wellbeing, with the objective of
moving people out of poverty and promoting social justice. It is funded by Ecosystem Services for
Poverty Alleviation.
Members of the organising committee include Professor Andrew Cunningham (Institute of Zoology),
Professor James Wood (University of Cambridge), Professor Melissa Leach (Institute of Development
Studies) and Professor Ian Scoones (Institute of Development Studies).
Held in partnership with the Royal Society
