Activity or Workshop Details: One Health is “an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems” and mobilize “multiple sectors, disciplines and communities at varying levels of society to work together to foster well-being and tackle threats to health and ecosystems […]”. Despite the intuitive appreciation for this approach, the main takeaway of the 7th World One Health Conference held in Singapore in 2022 is that the main barrier to turning One Health theory into practice, where evidence is already there to support the adoption of this framework, is insufficient human will to break down siloed thinking and structures and imagine a world with new synergies and rebalanced relations. This workshop proposes an imaginative exercise where hypothetical cases of climate change-driven migration (not “natural” migration or accidental introduction) by new animal species into Indonesia (taken as a local case study) are discussed collectively. The purpose is to map what thought processes, values, discourses and language (e.g., terms like native, exotic, invasive, etc.) come into play when people are faced with the challenge of deciding how to deal with the arrival of new species and whether to build new species assemblages. Despite being based on hypothetical scenarios (to allow the equal participation of all participants, regardless of their disciplinary background and experience in this topic) and Indonesia (to give concreteness and immediateness to this exercise), the results of this workshop could be used as a starting point for informed and comprehensive decision-making wherever, all over the world, new species will cross their path.
