BIODIVERSITY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Biodiversity and sustainable development have been core interests of the Jenifer Altman Foundation. In the past, we have made major commitments to work on sustainable development, particularly through grants related to the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. We have since refined our focus to address the environmental health component of biodiversity and sustainable development. Particularly, we now focus on the effect of toxic chemicals on human and ecological health. The following grants reflect our broader initial interest in biodiversity and sustainable development.
