One Health in an Age of Climate Change, Extinctions, and a Pandemic | Sharon Deem | TEDxStLouis

Sharon L. Deem, DVM, PhD, Dipl ACZM is currently the Director of the Saint Louis Zoo Institute for Conservation Medicine (ICM), a role she has held since the ICM was founded in 2011. Sharon uses a One Health holistic approach for wildlife conservation, public health, and sustainable ecosystems to ensure healthy animals, healthy people, and a healthy planet.

In the talk she will offer the opportunities this pandemic gives us and how a One Health approach will allow us to contend with the triple threats of emerging infectious diseases, climate change, and the loss of biodiversity (wildlife species and wildlands). Never has resilience on a global scale been more necessary for human survival—just what the doctor ordered. Director of the Saint Louis Zoo Institute for Conservation Medicine (ICM) This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
