Off Leash Obstacle: A One Health Lesson

With the understanding that the health of people, animals, and the environment are interdependent, One Health takes an integrative approach to complex problems. Students will learn that it is necessary to work collaboratively with people from multiple sectors, disciplines, and communities to find sustainable and balanced solutions to problems that optimize the health of people, animals, and the environment. This exercise is also intended to encourage young people to look at a problem from multiple perspectives.
