The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated that health crises can cause severe damage to social and economic activities around the world and left us lessons that prevention and preparedness, encompassing both medical and social activities, are needed for future pandemics and that it is crucial to building predictive models based on data and science to do so. It is also becoming evident that human activities cause disturbances to the global environment and ecosystems, such as global warming and the emergence of resistant bacteria. On the other hand, the disturbance of the global environment and ecosystems caused by human activities significantly impacts human health. It may trigger emerging and re-emerging infectious disease pandemics and other serious diseases that are not yet known. In order to realize human health, we propose a "one-health" concept that integrates the protection and health of all living organisms, not just humans, and the health of the earth and space environment. Therefore, in collaboration, the Japanese Physiological Society, the Japanese Association of Anatomists, and the Japanese Pharmacological Society plan to build a virtuous circle system of life science research that contributes to "One Health." I would like to outline the "One Health" concept and ignite active discussion in this symposium.
