IAEH Awards

The field of Ecohealth requires professionals to engage in both research and practice, while seeking to improve the health of humans, animals and ecosystems. This transdisciplinary practice requires a diverse set of knowledge and skills. Based on an international call for nominations,  IAEH Awards recognizes leadership in ecosystem approaches to health with two major awards, presented at the Biennial Ecohealth Conferences. The two major IAEH Awards are:
