Mapping the Connections The Population Environment Lessons from Madagascar — by Center for Conservation Innovation/Conservation Strategies Unit — last modified 2008-03-28 15:04

English and French By Center for Conservation Innovation/Conservation Strategies Unit, 2002, World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Based on 1993 national census data, the maps present overlays of population growth, migration, urbanization, and ecological data for the ecoregion. Women's literacy data from the village and commune levels were also mapped to explore the linkages between the existence of educational opportunities for women, population growth, and forest loss. The resulting map series help to identify critical areas where high-priority biodiversity, significant population pressures, and vulnerable socioeconomic conditions meet, and where integrated conservation and development interventions are needed.

An Ounce of Prevention Making the Link between Health and Conservation — by Richard Margoluis — last modified 2008-03-28 15:09

By Richard Margoluis, Samuel Myers, Jonnell Allen, Juanita Roca, Mary Melnyk, Jennifer Swanson, 2001, Biodiversity Support Program (BSP) It is clear that many local populations rely directly on the biodiversity around them for survival, and that they prefer not to destroy it.

What are some of the characteristics of community-based conservation and development projects that successfully link human health to conservation? This document examines human health at personal, family, and community levels as a motivating force for conservation.
