Health: an ecosystem approach
Lebel, J.
Health: an ecosystem approach - Ottawa International Development Research Centre 2003 - xiii, 84p.
Argues that it is impossible to exclude the growing global population from the ecological equation. The relations between people's health and the quality of the environment in which they live are widely recognised. 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, which is the basis of the ?Ecohealth? approach. It recognises the inextricable links between humans and their biophysical, social and economic environments, and that these links are reflected in a population?s state of health.
