Dear Equator Net members,
The Second International Conference on Health and Biodiversity (COHAB 2) will be held from 25 – 28 February 2008 in
The conference will focus on three key areas:
- Disaster relief and emergency response - harnessing ecosystem services for crisis prevention, recovery and redevelopment programmes
- Emerging infectious diseases - integrating biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management into disease prevention and control programmes
- Food resources, diet and nutrition - meeting nutrition security and poverty challenges with biodiversity
Conference sessions will explore how health aspects of the U.N. Millennium Development Goals are influenced by the status of global biodiversity, and will review the impacts and implications of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. The over-riding focus will be on experience sharing on issues of health and ecological sciences.
Interested?
Abstracts are invited for poster and oral presentations exploring the linkages between human, animal, plant and ecosystem health. Presentations about experience on the design, planning or implementation of collaborative, inter-disciplinary approaches to health, nature conservation and international development issues, are particularly welcome.
