One Health Seminar Series: Community-centered Conservation and One Health in Action: the Jane Goodall Institute’s Work

Marie Meloche, the director of the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada, has worked with grassroots organizations, local and international NGOs in Canada and the Middle East before joining the Jane Goodall Institute team in 2018. As the Programs Manager, she supports the implementation of community-centered conservation projects in Africa and Canada. She believes that the key to sustainable development is to build meaningful partnerships with communities and local actors, with women at the center of the locally led development strategies.
