Book Introduction
A word from MD
Coexistence Paradigm 'One Health'
One Health is the concept that humans, animals, and the ecosystem are all connected as one.
This term, proposed by the World Organization for Animal Health in the early 2000s, describes not only the climate crisis but also the COVID-19 pandemic.
What should humanity do in the face of climate catastrophe? This book offers some clues.

Let's talk about 'One Health,' a coexistence paradigm that all Earthlings must know!


'Ddeuttokra', an online media that carefully selects and delivers the most necessary current knowledge and values ​​for busy modern people in lifestyle, news, trends, and career, has published its first book, 'The Smallest Movement to Save Us, One Health'.
At Deuldakra, expert journalists from various fields communicate with over 500,000 subscribers through various channels such as YouTube and podcasts.


The keyword that Deuttokra selected as most necessary for modern people living in the pandemic era through this book is 'One Health'.
Under the slogan of 'One Planet, One Health', this term, which signifies that the well-being and health of humans, animals, and the environment are interconnected, is a concept devised by the World Organization for Animal Health in the early 2000s, and started from the recognition that the health of the ecosystem, including humans, animals, and the environment, is all connected.
This book, based on the concept of One Health through a podcast broadcast, goes beyond simply analyzing the symptoms of the pandemic that began with the coronavirus to explore its root causes, presenting Deukdokra's unique, deep and fresh insights.


Through discussions with experts from various fields, including Professor Cheon Myeong-seon of the Department of Veterinary Humanities at Seoul National University and Senior Researcher Lee Won-young of the Korea Polar Research Institute, we reflect on the fact that indiscriminate human development and destruction of nature are the root causes of infectious diseases and propose the One Health Mission as a practical method to create a 'sustainable life' on Earth in the future.
Let's learn with Deokdakla how the Australian bushfires are linked to the tears of polar bears, how the destruction of animal lives has led to COVID-19, disrupting our precious daily lives, and how we can make small but significant changes to prevent the predicted destruction.

Into the book
There is a reason why I became interested in the term One Health.
As COVID-19 spread across the world, I began to ponder these concerns.
"How different will the post-COVID-19 era be from now?" "Can we be sure that another infectious disease won't strike after COVID-19?" and so on, these are vague concerns.
Seeing how viruses invade our lives makes us reflect on whether there are any fundamental problems with our lifestyles.

---From the words of Hong Sang-ji, who listened carefully during the “One Health, One Health Project”

The concept that human, animal, and environmental health are interconnected has been drawing attention since the 1960s.
Veterinary medicine is responsible for the health of a wide range of animals, including companion animals, animals we eat, animals we see, animals we use, and animals in the wild.
These animal diseases are of course painful for the animals, but they can also cause direct harm to humans.
As veterinarians study the causes and spread of disease, they are reminded of the complexity of disease factors surrounding humans and animals.
So, I thought we should draw a bigger picture by considering human and animal health together.
Rather than a concept that suddenly appeared, it was probably a common problem that anyone in this field would have.

---From the words of Professor Cheon Myeong-seon of Seoul National University's Department of Veterinary Medicine in "Humans and Animals Are Getting Closer"

I was depressed once too.
I went there to do research, but the penguins are having a harder time each year, and I'm just an observer, and what I can do is so small and vague...
I felt small.
It was difficult because it seemed like there was only so much I could do as a scientist.
On the one hand, I started becoming a vegetarian, thinking that even if I can't change society, I should start with personal things, and I'm giving a lot of thought to what I consume.

---From the words of Won-Young Lee, Senior Researcher at the Korea Polar Research Institute, in “My Consumption Changes Many Things”

We are at a critical crossroads.
Will we face catastrophe or will we move towards a sustainable and dignified future?
I'm nervous about which side it will be.
I still believe that our society will make the right choices and that we have to believe in the possibility of change.
I believe that if more people join us, things can change.
---From the words of youth climate activist Kim Do-hyun in "If everyone's half step comes together"

Publisher's Review
What if I could change the Earth's tomorrow with my today?
Here and now, I will tell you the way to prevent the predicted destruction!


The factors that threaten our health are becoming increasingly complex and uncertain.
Human diseases can affect animal health, and abnormal climates can cause disease in animals or humans.
As it turns out, COVID-19 is also a zoonotic disease, following SARS and MERS, that can be transmitted between humans and animals.
Who can say with certainty that COVID-19 will be the last infectious disease? Therefore, Deuttaktla highlighted the "One Health Triangle," which posits that human health is integrally linked to the health of animals and the environment, as a key to identifying the root causes of the pandemic and providing solutions.


One Health

Deuldakla's 'One Health Project' began with the idea of ​​diagnosing the chaotic situation in 2020, when human health was seriously threatened by COVID-19, from Deuldakla's own perspective.
Kim Hyo-eun, the team leader of Deuldak-ra, said that in order to prevent another disaster, we must remember and not forget how we overcame the difficult times caused by COVID-19, and that she hopes this book will serve as an important resource for recording and overcoming the pandemic era.
The book is packed with stories that were not included in the broadcast.
Additionally, we wanted to keep the spirit of One Health, which is conscious of the Earth, alive by printing it on recycled paper with eco-friendly soybean oil.


In a world where science and technology have advanced and become a global village, the Australian bushfires and polar bears' tears are no longer stories from a distant land. They are happening to our neighbors and could spread to our daily lives at any time.
Let's create a better world by taking a half step toward small but meaningful change and practicing One Health with Deukdokra, which offers diverse perspectives on the world and imparts knowledge that can read a new era.

The way you view the world will change with Deukdokra's 'One Health Project'!

Through the keyword 'One Health', Deuldakra unfolds an interesting conversation about the root causes and solutions to the pandemic.
Together with experts from various fields, we will explore how human activities, previously unrecognized, have destroyed the ecosystem and how they negatively impact humans, and find fundamental ways to prevent this.


Chapter 1, "COVID-19 and One Health," examines the fundamental causes of the pandemic and explains "One Health," a new paradigm for overcoming it.
In Chapter 2, “Humans and Animals,” Professor Cheon Myeong-seon of Seoul National University’s Department of Veterinary Humanities discusses the problems of factory farming and the risks of zoonotic infectious diseases, which were predicted 10 years ago.
In Chapter 3, “Animals and the Environment,” we discuss the plight of Arctic animals being driven to the brink by the climate crisis and ways to prevent the predicted destruction of the ecosystem, along with Won-Young Lee, a senior researcher at the Korea Polar Research Institute, and Jeong-Yeon Kim, a reporter at the Ministry of Environment.
Chapter 4, "Environment and Humanity," hears from people who are working to protect the future of the Earth, including the owner of a zero-waste store, a vegan writer, and an activist who filed a constitutional petition against the government regarding the climate crisis, and suggests small actions that each person can take in their own position.

The 'now' of humans, animals, and the environment is so desperate that it is difficult to guarantee the future in 10 years, but that is why we speak of 'solidarity' where we take a half step forward together.
Readers of this book will be able to overcome the pandemic era and find a way for humans, animals, and the environment to wisely coexist across species boundaries as they follow along as Deutdakla gradually unravels the "One Health Mission" in their daily lives, which they initially found difficult to put into practice, such as veganism and zero waste.
