It is today widely acknowledged both by the development and conservation communities that a vital relationship exists between the sound management of ecosystems, the determinants of poverty and the effectiveness of poverty alleviation efforts.

This publication is the result of any analysis undertaken under the aegis of the Asian Development Bank's Poverty and Environment Program which aims to accelerate learning about poverty-environment relationships by gathering new knowledge on effective approaches to environmental management and poverty reduction.
