Saving The Rainforest With Healthcare?

What do Borneo and Phoenix have in common?

Monday night at the Phoenix Zoo, Trina Noonan with the nonprofit organization Health in Harmony, made that connection.

Health in Harmony is a planetary health organization. The folks there work on improving our planet’s biodiversity and health, and they do it using some less than obvious solutions.

Case in point: In Borneo. For the last decade, they've been tackling deforestation by providing healthcare for the families and communities living around the rainforest.

Why healthcare? The Show spoke to Noonan about it.
