In the elephant migration corridor near Tarangire National Park in Tanzania, a nurse named Happiness Chacha travels hut to hut to talk with villagers about family planning.<\/p>\n
Her work is a result of the\u00a0Endangered Ecosystems Northern Tanzania<\/a>, a project funded by the\u00a0U.S. Agency for International Development<\/a>\u00a0that aims to make both people and wildlife more resilient to threats like climate change and population growth. While it might seem surprising to see efforts to promote family planning and combat wildlife poaching as part of the same program, the project reflects growing recognition among donors and implementers that sexual and reproductive health cannot be divorced from a wide spectrum of other development objectives.<\/p>\n
