This media guide provides data and background information on the connections between population, health, and the environment in Central America. These connections are evident in instances when children are sick with diarrhea from contaminated drinking water, when deforestation leads to mudslides killing villagers, when pesticides for crops gets into the food stream and leads to sickness. This guide will help journalists understand and report on such complex issues about people’s health and the environment.
