Fighting Disease by Improving the Environment

If attention is paid to the connection between human health and environmental factors, with a focus on identifying ecological solutions to interrupt disease transmission, our speakers estimate this could lead to a 40% reduction in today’s global burden of human infectious disease. Join Dr. Giulio De Leo and Dr. Susanne Sokolow of the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment as they discuss their experiences in Sub-Saharan Africa. Find out how the connection between dams, snails, and prawns revealed win-win ecological solutions to fight human disease.

Free, open to the public. Part of the Ocean and Coastal Resource Management Speaker Series, presented by the Center for the Blue Economy.
