Asia-Pacific Section
 The newest member of the WDA family, the Asia-Pacific section came into being on January 1, 2019.
From the beginning its primary goal has been strengthening the global network and collaboration with WDA members from other geographical regions. Since its establishment, WDA-AP has reached out to other organisations and societies in the Asia-Pacific region, such as the Asian Society of Conservation Medicine (ASCM) and the Federation of Asian Veterinary Associations (FAVA), to reinforce its regional network and spread the One Health message. An example of this collaboration was the section’s support of the 15th International Conference of Asian Society of Conservation Medicine in Chiang Mai, Thailand in October 2022. The theme of the hybrid conference was ‘Moving Forward: Challenges in One Health and Conservation Medicine’. This activity aligns with one of the section’s primary goals which is to continue supporting the annual ASCM conference. Other goals include: - expanding WDA membership to low-middle income countries in the Asia Pacific region; - increasing international collaboration and networking; - hosting regular meetings and webinars for the Asia Pacific region; and - communicating widely with members via social media and the section’s newsletter.
