The Inextricable Link: Community Sustainability, Equability, and Conservation in Africa

2013 (Presenter Adam Whelchel, Director of Science, The Nature Conservancy, Connecticut Chapter) - Human well-being is inextricably linked to nature’s well-being. The commitment of communities to restore biodiversity, improve water quality and quantity, and livelihoods through sustainable watershed/rangeland management and better governance practice ultimately stimulates greater social equity in clean and secure environments. Examples will be provided from The Nature Conservancy’s work in Africa. This lecture was recorded at "The Quest for Global Environmental Equity in an Increasingly Inequitable World," the Elizabeth Babbott Conant & Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Conference on the Environment on April 18, 19, and 20, 2013. https://www.conncoll.edu/academics/majors-departments-programs/majors-and-minors/goodwin-niering-center-for-the-environment/conferences/the-quest-for-global-environmental-equity/
