Subject: OIE/FAO/WHO: Stephen Michael Apatow Opens Wildlife
Rehabilitation
and Information Node
It is clear that no one discipline or sector of society
has
enough knowledge and resources to prevent the emergence or resurgence
of
diseases in today's globalized world… Only by breaking down the
barriers
among agencies, individuals, specialties and sectors can we unleash the
innovation
and expertise needed to meet the many serious challenges to the health
of
people, domestic animals, and wildlife and to the integrity of
ecosystems…We
are in an era of "One World, One Health" and we must devise adaptive,
forward-looking
and multidisciplinary solutions to the challenges that undoubtedly lie
ahead. -- 2004 : Manhattan Principles of the Wildlife Conservation
Society. [1]
The Pathobiologics International Wildlife Rehabilitation and
Information
Node has been set up for operational support and policy development
in
cooperation with World Veterinary Association, World Organization for
Animal Health (OIE), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations,
Global One Health Initiative/Commission and associated international
reference
centers.
Our first global education focus is the 192 country World Rabies
Education
Initiative [2] that will serve as a bridge into World
Veterinary
Day 2011 on April 30. The goal is to raise awareness and
encourage
educators, public health professionals, physicians and veterinarians to
play a role role in in rabies prevention and control.
