Too often, conservation and development practitioners work on parallel initiatives, neglecting opportunities to work together to move forward in global development. In this webinar hosted by FRAMEweb on July 18, 2012, experts discuss improving the interconnections between health and the environment and share their own work and experiences linking the two sectors.
Presenters:
Janet Edmond, Director of Population Environment at Conservation International, discusses linking conservation to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) to natural resource management (NRM).
Dr. Anila Jacob, AAAS Fellow with USAID Forestry and Biodiversity Office, discuss why the global health community needs to think about NRM and its impacts, including links between DRR and food security to healthy ecosystems.
