| Description | A new generation of problem solvers is needed to confront 21st-century health challenges. This book shows how working together, in concert with the non-human world, can reconnect our health and animal health with the health of the world around us and by doing so transform our ailing socio-ecological systems into healthier ones. The looming challenges of climate change, the depletion of ecological services, and the exponentially growing human population reveal that achieving animal, environmental, and human health by separate science, policies, and actions will be impossible. In a world of concurrent problems, unique solutions for each problem are neither feasible nor effective. This book introduces and adapts health promotion, health equity, and harm reduction concepts for an audience with the interests and positions to align research, policy, and practice to protect and sustain the co-dependence of animals, health, and society. The goal is to challenge us to think of health problems in terms of everyday places and spaces shared by people and animals and focus on the conditions that influence their capacity to cope with multiple interacting problems. What, where, and how we choose to look at a problem shapes our opportunities to see critical connections that influence options for action. Finding a common ground and connections between disciplines, species, and stakeholders can determine how we find common grounds for collaborative action that spans interests.
