On Monday, @lucikirkpatrick.bsky.social represents #RESTOREID at the 4th BCOMING Young Researchers Conference, introducing the One Health KEN alongside @bioagora.eu The event will feature researchers from EU projects @bcomingeu.bsky.social, BEPREP and @zoe-eu.bsky.social 🌱

BCOMING@bcomingeu.bsky.social

🌐 Lucinda Kirkpatrick (Bangor University, RESTOREID) introduces the One Health Knowledge Exchange Network and how researchers, practitioners and other experts can join it. Candice Pouget of @bioagora.eu joins the Q&A on BioAgora and the Science Service for Biodiversity.

1/3 Why does #OneHealthDay fall on 3 November, and what are we actually celebrating? 🤔 The short answer: major health challenges cannot be solved by one discipline or sector working alone. The longer answer is in our carousel. 👇

2/3 Human, animal and environmental health are deeply connected. #OneHealthDay is a reminder that addressing those links takes shared knowledge, unlikely collaborations and fewer professional silos. 🤝🌍

🌿 Young researchers are taking the One Health stage! Join us online on 2 November at 10:00 CET for fresh research, open discussion and new connections across biodiversity, ecosystems and health. 🔬 Free registration in the original post 👇

1/2 🌍 One Health challenges do not respect disciplinary boundaries, and neither will this conference. Ahead of #OneHealthDay, five European initiatives are joining forces to give young researchers the floor and share fresh work across biodiversity and health. 🧵 🎟️ Register for free: bit.ly/4scQUSp

🌱 How can biodiversity restoration, public health, and finance work together? In a past interview with @BIO-CAPITAL, #RESTOREID explored the value of cross-project collaboration and innovative approaches to supporting nature restoration. Read more: tinyurl.com/6a886vn2

🌿 “If restoration isn't done properly, it could be problematic.” RESTOREID coordinator Lucinda Kirkpatrick discussed why restoration must be carefully planned to support biodiversity while reducing the risk of disease spillover. 📖 Read the interview: tinyurl.com/yc2xw9bm #RESTOREID #Biodiversity

🌿 What does RESTOREID fieldwork look like? In Yangambi (DR Congo), researchers used biodiversity monitoring, eDNA sampling to explore how ecosystem restoration may influence zoonotic disease risk. 📖 Read more on the blog: tinyurl.com/3p79nf9b #RESTOREID #NatureRestoration

🌿 Can restoring ecosystems help reduce disease risks? We are revisiting fieldwork in Tanzania, where researchers studied how biodiversity, restoration, and zoonotic disease transmission are connected. 📖 Check out our blog: tinyurl.com/n47psszm #RESTOREID #Biodiversity

🌿 In this RESTOREID blog post, we revisit our team's visit to Yangambi, DRC, where they began laying out the foundations for social science research on restoration, biodiversity, and local communities. 📖 Read the blog: tinyurl.com/24kk8bt5 #RESTOREID #DRC #Biodiversity

🌱 We're revisiting one of the first posts on the RESTOREID blog, looking back at our launch activities in Uganda and the partnerships that helped shape our research on restoration, biodiversity, and disease prevention. bit.ly/4v50YMP #RESTOREID #OneHealth #Biodiversity

The teams from #RESTOREID, #BEPREP & #ZOE have arrived at the #WBF2026 in Davos, joining forces to build stronger links across biodiversity, restoration & health for #OneHealth! 🌍 #WBF2026 #OneHealth #Biodiversity #EUProjects

1/2 Nous assistons une nouvelle fois au déroulement d’une épidémie en temps réel. L’épidémie d’Ebola en RDC et en Ouganda nous rappelle que l’émergence des maladies ne dépend pas seulement des agents pathogènes, mais aussi des écosystèmes, des sociétés, des mobilités et des systèmes de santé.

2/2 Notre nouveau carrousel explore l’épidémie actuelle d’Ebola due au virus Bundibugyo : ce que nous savons, ce que nous ignorons encore, et pourquoi comprendre les contextes environnementaux et sociaux est essentiel pour prévenir les futures épidémies. #Ebola #SantéMondiale #RESTOREID

1/2 We are witnessing yet another epidemic unfold in real time. ⚠️ The Ebola outbreak in DRC & Uganda reminds us that disease emergence is never only about pathogens but also about ecosystems, societies, movement & health systems. 🦠🌱 #OneHealth #RESTOREID

2/2 Our new carousel explores the ongoing Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak: what we know, what we still don’t know, and why understanding environmental & social contexts matters for preventing future outbreaks. 🌍 #Ebola #GlobalHealth #RESTOREID

The dodo is more than a symbol of extinction, it’s a reminder that ecosystems are deeply interconnected. On Mauritius, its disappearance likely affected seed dispersal, plant growth, and overall ecological balance over time. (2/2)

The Amazon is often seen only as a rainforest. But it is also a changing system where biodiversity, land use, and ecological processes are closely linked. Understanding these connections is key to understanding future environmental and health risks. (2/2)

Nature isn’t a chain. It’s a web. 🕸️ When biodiversity declines, the web weakens and disease risk can rise. Restoration reconnects the web, but the effects aren’t always predictable. (2/2)
