It’s so wonderful to see the possibilities to heal our planet. Dare to do!
In 1995, U.S. and Canadian wildlife officials released 14 wolves in Yellowstone National Park. No one expected the miracle that the wolves would bring. Video by Nat Geo Wild / Appreciate.

#2021AAAS great study on the epidemiology and cost of hydatids from Cara Wilson, very relevant for measuring burden of disease both in livestock production and human health. The true prevalence in cattle estimated from abattoir is truly frightening for Australia @GBADsGlobal

(Virtually) catching up with @DiMaybs at #2021AAAS and thinking how we could factor those nutritional but funky carrots into reducing the burden of nutrition in ruminants @GBADsGlobal

Fantastic to be working with @CSIRO in 🇮🇩 as part of a new @GBADsGlobal🌏 initiative providing greater understanding of the impacts animal #diseases have on human lives & economies. Launched today by @LivUni/@OIEAnimalHealth with support from @gatesfoundation @FCDOGovUK More⬇️
To successfully tackle the threat of animal diseases on human lives, economies & the environment, we need to prioritise investing our resources on those that impact us all the most. The launch of #GBADs today will make this possible. Learn more: bit.ly/38UsZzX 👈

Tomorrow is Day 1 of #EB148. At this defining moment in the #COVID19 crisis, my @WHO Secretariat colleagues & I look forward to working with Member States to ensure that vaccines are allocated equitably to those most in need. We must #ACTogether 🌍 to save lives & livelihoods.
