 | Donald Charles COLE Donald trained as a physician at the University of Toronto (1978). He then practiced primary care, public health, occupational health and environmental health in a variety of settings in Canada and developing countries. In a community medicine residency at McMaster University he completed a Masters in Design, Measurement and Evaluation of Health Services (1991), and went on to quality as a Royal College fellow in Occupational Medicine (1990) and Community Medicine (1992). He developed a longstanding relationship with the International Potato Center (CIP) around agriculture and health research for development, with a particular focus on pesticides, urban agriculture and nutrition. A Tri-Council Eco-Research fellowship in environmental epidemiology and the role of Interim Director of Research followed by Senior Scientist at the Institute for Work & Health fostered his focus on research. As a tenured Associate Professor of Public Health Sciences at the University of Toronto, he currently teaches, mentors, does research, and contributes research evidence to public health practice both in Canada and internationally.

 | Irena CREED Dr. Creed is Canada Research Chair in Watershed Sciences, Director of the Watershed Research Facility, and co-Director of the Centre for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Western Ontario located in London, Canada. Dr. Creed’s research involves investigation of ecosystem health at various forested and non-forested watersheds across Canada and Kenya representing different degrees of human activity. Common themes to Dr. Creed’s research includes: 1) understanding the natural range in variation of watershed functions; 2) establishing critical thresholds in land use/land cover change beyond which watershed functions become impaired; 3) scaling watershed processes from catchment to regional scales; and 4) translating numerical models into indices that can be applied to resource management decisions. Dr. Creed uses a combination of advanced monitoring, analytical and modeling techniques to analyze watershed processes. A key component of her work is the translation of scientific results for policy and management through participatory workshops. | | | |

| Dr. Margot PARKESFollowing medical training and work as a physician in New Zealand, Dr. Margot Parkes has mostly focused her work on the relationships between health, ecosystems and society. Her overall interest is in research and education that promotes healthy people, living in healthy communities, in healthy ecosystems – locally and globally. Through a range of projects in New Zealand, Belgium, Hawaii, Ecuador and Canada, Margot has gained experience with designing and evaluating interdisciplinary research and education programs – with a particular emphasis on community-based and multi-stakeholder processes that re-integrate our approaches to health and sustainability. Her interest in the emerging field of ‘ecohealth’ began during her doctoral research, which focused on the public health implications of watershed management in New Zealand, and led to her role as the founding Managing Editor of the international journal EcoHealth from 2002-2007 (see www.ecohealth.net). Since 2005 Dr.Parkes has worked at the University of British Columbia in Canada, firstly as Assistant Project Director of a CIDA-funded capacity-building and research project entitled “Sustainably Managing Environmental Health Risks in Ecuador”, and then as a recipient of a Fellowship from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research ‘Initiative in Global Health Research’. Margot’s fellowship research has been developed alongside her leading role in establishing the Canadian Community of Practice in Ecosystems Approaches to Health ( www.copeh-canada.org). Ongoing priority themes for Margot’s work are: linking watershed management and the determinants of health; prioritizing Indigenous perspectives in the field of ecohealth; and developing knowledge exchange and governance processes that reflect the links between health, environmental and community priorities. | | |
| Patricia POLO Patricia Polo is currently working towards a Master’s in Geography at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA where her current academic interests concentrate on understanding how and why human-environment interactions influence the prevalence of malaria in the Northern Ecuadorian Amazon. She hopes to pursue other research interests in the near future such as how local peasants and indigenous people living in the Northern Ecuadorian rainforest perceive their health status during the past 10 years, whether they perceive a link between their environment and the diseases that afflict them, and if so, in which way. Patricia also hopes to study the anti-malaria campaigns deployed using a political ecology approach in Ecuador and investigate the social security offered to peasants by the Ecuadorian government. Patricia, who studied Systems Engineering at the Catholic University, Quito, Ecuador has also worked as a professor at the Catholic University teaching Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as well as a GIS consultant for a private enterprise offering solutions using spatial technology since 2001. Her interests include the role of human-environment interactions and feedback in human health, sustainable healthy livelihoods and landscapes, medical geography, cultural geography, political ecology and the visualization of health data. | | |

He is an Associate Professor and the Dean of the Faculty of Environment and Resources Development at Egerton University, Kenya. He is active in research and outreach programs in areas of environmental Conservation. His work for the last fifteen years has focused on long-term sustainable management and ecological health aspects of degraded river and lake basin systems and biodiversity indicators of national use. Shivoga is currently working on ecosystem health assessment, environmental impact assessment and monitoring, biological indicators, bioaccumulation of agrochemicals/ecotoxicology, biodiversity conservation, and multidisciplinary project management. He is the principle investigator of the Sustainable Management of Watersheds (SUMAWA): Biophysical, Livestock and Human Interactions (http://uwyo.edu/sumawa/default.htm) project. This is a watershed-based research project in Kenya's River Njoro watershed in collaboration with Moi University, Department of Fisheries, Kenya Wildlife Service, University of Wyoming, University of California-Davis and Utah State University. The SUMAWA Project is a multidisciplinary research effort focusing on biophysical and human-related factors governing watershed processes for the purpose of improving long-term sustainability of rural watersheds in Kenya and East Africa. Together with Dr. Trick, Shivoga will provide overall project co-ordination; interpretation of mechanisms for toxic interactions between pesticides; and design of experiments to validate these in a joint Kenya-Canada Lake Naivasha Sustainability Ecohealth Project to be funded by the International Development Research Centre, Canada. Shivoga is also the team leader of the Ecosystem Services theme of the project. He will coordinate research work on ecosystem health and services in Lake Naivasha Watershed including identification, valuation and assessment of ecosystem services and their uses.
