Officially launched on 24 January 2025, The Animal Echo aims to foster an ongoing exchange of insights on animal health and welfare globally.
In a world where human, animal, and environmental health are increasingly interconnected, the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) is proud to announce the launch of its new online space: The Animal Echo, a collaborative knowledge-sharing space offering insights on some of the world’s most pressing challenges through the lens of animal health.
The Animal Echo aspires to serve as a vital resource for key stakeholders committed to advancing animal health and welfare, and its crucial connection to global health. This new space reflects WOAH’s commitment to fostering an understanding of animal health and welfare and advancing solutions to global health challenges.
Animal health is a big, interconnected topic that touches on so many different areas: food security, trade, economy, public health, biodiversity and climate change. That’s why we believe there are so many stories still waiting to be told.
As the world marks International Education Day today, we take immense pride in bringing to life a new, highly informative space for a diverse range of audiences seeking knowledge: from policymakers and field veterinarians to citizens who are increasingly curious about animal health and welfare.
The knowledge-sharing space will feature a blend of scientific articles and blogposts written by leading experts in animal, public, and environmental health. These content pieces will offer in-depth insights into various animal health and welfare topics, with a view to enhancing individual and collective understanding of animal health and welfare. Whether you are a disease expert looking for fresh ideas, a change-maker working to make a difference or a passionate pet lover, you will find something here that speaks to you.
To mark the launch, The Animal Echo presents a lineup of scientific articles on this quarter’s selected theme – Gender – and a blog post on another current topic in animal health, biosecurity.
With its focus on fostering global dialogue, The Animal Echo is set to play a crucial role in shaping conversations on animal health and welfare across the world.
As the world marks the transformative power of education and lifelong learning on International Education Day, the launch of The Animal Echo underscores the importance of cross-sector knowledge sharing in addressing global challenges. By encouraging the exchange of insights, WOAH reinforces its key message that animal health is everyone’s health, paving the way for a more sustainable future.
