The Summer 2011 issue of the BALANCED Newsletter examines the link between PHE approaches and livelihoods. In recognition of the need and/or the "fit" for PHE projects to address a wider array of real life topics this issue of the BALANCED newsletter includes four articles that focus on the topic of PHE and livelihoods. The articles describe how livelihoods have been integrated into environmental conservation in Zambia, Ethiopia, and Madagascar.
