This report summarizes a study of 31 health and conservation projects, documenting examples in which community-based health has been used as motivation to conserve biodiversity. It analyzes approaches that link conservation to health at the community level, shows examples in which community health and conservation issues have been simultaneously and successfully addressed, documents observations about linking health and conservation and provides recommendations on integrating health and conservation at the community level to help guide project managers, focusing on project design, management, monitoring and evaluation. Case studies feature projects carried out by Conservation International.
