This work highlights the interconnections between nature and human restoration, revealing epistemic and One Health justice issues crucial for sustainable futures. This necessitates habitat restoration on veterinary campuses, pedagogical reform and curriculum change. Such reforms must address the damage caused by overly reductive science, the lack of systems thinking and process philosophy, and the absence of nature connection opportunities. This means developing ways of being in the world that reveal a deeper level of interdependence and that can ultimately foster a deeper understanding of intradependence. In so doing, we hope to realise the deeper meaning of Patrick Geddes’ mantra; by leaves we live.
