Rest in peace, Jane Goodall. You taught us that kindness is a form of strength and that respect for life in all its forms is the truest measure of humanity. You will be dearly missed. 💔

It has been 14 years since rinderpest was eradicated — only the second disease in history, after smallpox, to be eradicated globally. A landmark in animal health, made possible by global collaboration. Let’s keep building a healthier, more resilient future!
The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) and rinderpest have been intimately linked since the establishment of the OIE in Paris in 1924 until the eradication of the disease in 2011. The global eradication of rinderpest, proclaimed in 2011, was a major milestone. The fight
