One Welfare

POV: You watch Day and realise the real message was already walking beside you at Gardens 🦊

We share this planet — and even our cities — with other lives. That is One Welfare.

Observe. Respect. Never feed.

This week, our Founder and Director, Dr Rebeca García Pinillos, returned to the Burgos Congress Ambassadors Awards as a 2023 award recipient and part of the ambassadors family.

Her recognition followed the IV One Welfare World Conference, which brought together science, art, tradition and global dialogue to explore the connections between animal welfare, human wellbeing and the environment — made possible thanks to the organising committee, keynote speakers, contributors and participants who helped bring it to life.

Congratulations to this year’s awardees — Elena Vicente Domingo, Tomás Fisac and Rosana Gutiérrez Manzanero — for this well-deserved recognition.

Thank you to and Congress Office for the invitation and for continuing to position Burgos as a city of knowledge, collaboration and international connection.

From Burgos to the world — here’s to many more shared projects ahead.

A century ago, women had to fight for the right to enter professions that shape society — including law, science, veterinary medicine and public life.

This week, Dr Rebeca Garcia Pinillos was honoured to attend an event at the UK Parliament celebrating 10 years since the unveiling of the first female statue in Parliament Square.

Surrounded by women continuing to open doors for others, the moment was a powerful reminder that visibility matters. When women are represented in leadership, science, law, veterinary medicine and advocacy, future generations can imagine themselves there too.

At One Welfare, we believe that creating a fairer future for people, animals and the environment requires inclusive leadership, diverse voices and the courage to challenge barriers across every field.

The pioneers before us opened doors.
The next 100 years depends on how widely we hold them open.

With thanks to Caroline Nokes MP for hosting, Cristina Lanz Azcarate for the kind invitation, Dana Denis-Smith, founder of The Next 100 Years, and the committee, organisers and everyone behind this inspiring project for continuing to champion women’s achievements and visibility.

Please share to celebrate the women shaping the next 100 years.

World Vet Day may have passed, but the work of veterinarians continues every day.

Featuring Dr. Rebeca García Pinillos — founder of One Welfare CIC and creator of the One Welfare Framework — during the 41st World Veterinary Association Congress in Tokyo. It was inspiring to see these themes reflected throughout the Congress, as colleagues from around the world came together to share knowledge, experiences, and solutions to global challenges.

From animal welfare and public health to food systems, biodiversity, conservation, and research, veterinary professionals play a vital role in advancing both One Health and One Welfare — recognising the interconnected wellbeing of animals, people, and the environment.

Veterinarians are not only advocates for animal health and welfare, but also key contributors to sustainable communities, food security, environmental stewardship, and global health resilience.

Because animal welfare, veterinary wellbeing, One Health, and One Welfare are not just for one day — they matter every day.

This wasn’t just a film premiere. It was a reminder that animals, people, and the environment are all part of one connected system.

This week, our Founder and Director, Dr Rebeca García Pinillos, attended the world premiere of London’s Last Wilderness in London — a powerful reflection of the values at the heart of One Welfare.

Thank you to the Embassy of Uruguay for the kind invitation, and to Pablo Behrens for bringing this story to the screen.

Everything is connected.

A veces, una práctica de alto valor no solo aporta experiencia profesional: también ayuda a conectar conocimiento, vocación y servicio a la sociedad.

Nos hace mucha ilusión compartir la reflexión de nuestra reciente estudiante en prácticas en One Welfare CIC, Beatriz Galván Pérez-Ilzarbe, en el marco de una colaboración formal con la Universidad de Zaragoza a través del correspondiente convenio de cooperación educativa, y en conexión con nuestra participación en el Máster en Salud Global y el Programa Expertia.
Para nosotros, las prácticas universitarias con mayor valor son aquellas que ofrecen algo más que observación: supervisión, aprendizaje interdisciplinar, producción de resultados reales y contribución social tangible.

A través de iniciativas como One Welfare Moments, el estudiantado puede desarrollar competencias en análisis, síntesis, comunicación y pensamiento integrador, contribuyendo al mismo tiempo a difundir una visión más conectada entre bienestar animal, dimensión social y entorno.

Seguimos apostando por experiencias formativas con impacto real, capaces de aportar valor al alumnado, a la universidad y a la sociedad.

Si representas a una universidad interesada en formalizar colaboraciones académicas, o eres estudiante de posgrado con interés en participar en futuros One Welfare Moments, estaremos encantados de conversar.
