Features Learn more about Ecohealth projects in_focus: HEALTH An Ecosystem Approach Jean Lebel

The Ecosystem Approaches to Human Health Program at Canada's International Development Research Centre supports research on the relationships between all components of an ecosystem to define and assess priority problems that affect the health of people and the sustainability of the ecosystems they depend upon.

In seeking to improve human health and well-being while simultaneously maintaining a healthy ecosystem, the emphasis is on designing solutions based on ecosystem management rather than health sector interventions.
