“This book is about doing innovative research to achieve sustainable and equitable
change in people’s health and well-being through improved interactions with the
environment. It presents experiences from the field of ecosystem approaches to
health (or ecohealth research) and some insights and lessons learned.Through case studies and other contributions the book presents evidence of real changes in conditions of people, their health, and the ecosystems that support them. These changes were derived from applications of an ecosystem approach to health in developing regions of the world. The book also illustrates the resulting body of applied, participatory, and action research that improved health and environmental management in developing countries and, in many cases, influenced policies and practices.”
