This paper synthesizes the findings of a study carried out by Ecoagriculture Partners and the International Institute for Environment and Development on behalf of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation to explore opportunities for sustainable development in East Africa.
The promising results from trials of a malaria vaccine developed by GlaxoSmithKline have kindled hopes of a breakthrough in combating this mosquito-transmitted disease that infects nearly 250 million people, killing about a million every year.
This atlas demonstrates the potential for spatial analyses to identify areas that are high in both carbon and biodiversity. Such areas will be of interest to countries that wish to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from land use change and simultaneously
conserve biodiversity.
