The Ecohealth program initiative at the International Development Research Centre (
IDRC) is pleased to introduce its
Health Environment: Global Links newsletter.
This five-language, bi-annual publication is being produced to meet a need for information and knowledge exchange globally expressed at the International Forum on Ecosystem Approaches to Human Health that convened in Montréal, Canada in May 2003.
The purpose of this newsletter is to sustain the momentum that began with the Forum and continue building with the emerging global Community of Practice on health and environment. The newsletter is sponsored by
IDRC, but is intended as forum for the emerging global community of scientists and development practitioners working on health and environment linkages. Therefore, while the first issue of this newsletter emphasizes projects and activities sponsored by
IDRC, we invite you to send your comments, your suggestions, and your story ideas to
ecohealth@idrc.ca as we continue to build a vibrant, effective community together.
