Health: An Ecosystem Approach
SummaryText
Excerpt from website:
"Can people remain healthy in a world that is sick? Many ecological disasters can be directly traced to careless exploitation of the environment, with human beings as first perpetrator and then victim. Our health closely mirrors the health of our surroundings: this is the basis of the Ecohealth approach. It recognizes the inextricable links between humans and their biophysical, social, and economic environments, and that these links are reflected in the population's state of health."
This book describes a relatively new approach of relating an ecosystem's health with the health of its human inhabitants and includes the International Development Research Centre's lessons and recommendations from its research activities.
