She created social media platforms and a web presence for the concept of One Welfare to help expand and disseminate the concept and related work. Initiatives launched to date supporting these objectives are the publication of the One Welfare Framework book and the projects One Welfare World, One Welfare Phoenix and One Welfare Silkworm.
