The article discusses the global challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss and their implications for the health sector, including veterinary dermatology. The health sector is both a significant emitter of greenhouse gases and affected by the health problems caused by climate change. Changes in temperature and precipitation can impact the prevalence and distribution of diseases, while biodiversity loss is driven by habitat destruction and pollution. The veterinary dermatology community has formed a group to address these issues and promote sustainable and climate-sensitive behavior in their profession. They also aim to support research on the impact of antiparasitic chemicals on biodiversity. The group welcomes anyone who wants to contribute to reducing their ecological footprint to join their project. [Extracted from the article]
