Volcanoes Safaris recently had the pleasure of hosting Roman Goergen at our lodges in Uganda and Rwanda. Having lived in Southern African for over 13 years, Roman is an experienced journalist focusing on environmental issues, ecology, biology and conservation. Check out his latest article here which focuses on the concept of “One Health” - an approach to health that recognizes the interconnectedness of human health, animal health, and environmental health.
The article also features insights from Dr. Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka, renowned Ugandan wildlife veterinarian and conservationist who founded Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH). CTPH is dedicated to improving the health of people, gorillas, and other wildlife through the One Health approach. The organization focuses on preventing disease transmission between people and gorillas.
