Cervical cancer is one of the few cancers that science has figured out how to almost entirely prevent, yet it still kills around 350,000 women a year. On this World Sexual Health Day, let’s explore how this issue ties to planetary health and what the Health In Harmony team in Madagascar does to save more lives from this preventable disease.

Climate Week NYC is back September 20–27, 2026, and this year's summit will focus on the energy, the impact, and the action that we drive together. This year, Health In Harmony is co-hosting Reciprocity House – a place to gather and receive.

In late June, London Climate Action Week (LCAW) took over the UK capital. Health In Harmony attended for the first time as an organization. Here are our key LCAW takeaways.

Health In Harmony convened a webinar led by sector leaders and change-making community members on the topic of gender equity in climate action. For those who missed it, watch the recording and read key takeaways here.

To mark International Day of Action for Women's Health, Health In Harmony’s Dr. Farah Nabil explains why women's well-being is an important determinant of planetary health, particularly in the rainforest communities where gender inequalities, environmental pressures, and women's health intersect.

In 2024 alone, 70% of the Araribóia Indigenous Land – home to the Guajajara Indigenous People and the Awá People, who live in voluntary isolation – was affected by fires. “I never thought the river would need help,” said Kariamora Santana Guajajara, a midwife and Guajajara matriarch. “But the time has come to help – to reforest, to respect, to care. If we do not care for it, everything will disappear.”

The climate and conservation sectors are finally catching up to what Indigenous Peoples, Afro-descendants, and local communities have been saying for years.

Today, we published our 2025 Impact Report celebrating two decades of impact – proof that funding climate solutions at the source is one of the most affordable, effective, and truly impactful pathways to reverse the grand challenges humanity faces.

In Madagascar, Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming is helping to address the interconnected challenges of daily survival and food insecurity, and the environmental outcomes of both. HIH’s Research Associate Dr. Sabrina Simon shares insights from fieldwork around the Manombo Rainforest, where local knowledge, cultural practices, and community-led innovation are driving success.

We just launched a new three-year strategic plan at Health In Harmony. It’s a roadmap for action at a moment when the planet cannot afford to wait. It’s our commitment to the communities we stand alongside and to you: our partners, advisers, and donors.

Sabrina Simon, PhD, Health In Harmony’s Research & Evaluation Associate, tells us a story of love and planetary health during a visit to the Darién rainforest, Panama, during Dr. Simon’s field work with HIH.

In Madagascar, rainforest communities face severe food insecurity. Health In Harmony and local HIH Collective partner FAMI have been collaborating with local communities and the Madagascar Biodiversity Center to develop an innovative solution: Black Soldier Fly farming. This innovative approach to nutrition and agriculture is tackling food insecurity head-on, as well as fallout effects such as deforestation and the hunting of endangered wildlife.

We are tremendously excited to step into 2026 beside you, as well as the rainforest communities we work alongside in Brazil, Panama, Madagascar, Indonesia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As we edge closer to crucial climate tipping points, we stand resolute in our goal of protecting 20 million hectares of climate-critical rainforest by 2030.

For two and a half weeks, Conservation Program Manager Mahardika Putra Purba and ASRI Forest Monitoring Coordinator Agus Supianto immersed themselves in the daily work of HIH’s Madagascan affiliate FAMI-HIH. Here, they report on their trip.

Thanks to you, we’re more than halfway towards our goal of raising $400,000 to recognize and resource rainforest guardians in 2026. But we still need your help. Watch the video to see how donations like yours are funding rainforest guardians like Vavikley in Madagascar to create solutions that benefit the health of people and the planet.

Despite being barred from the negotiation rooms, Indigenous Peoples also achieved the most significant advances in Brazilian land demarcation in 20 years. Yet, as Emil Gualinga of the Kichwa Peoples put it plainly: “Indigenous Peoples continue to be excluded… we are often not given the floor.” Read key COP30 takeaways by HIH.

Watch ‘The Xipaya Woman — Strength and Resistance’, where village chief Yupã shares how she learned songs, prayers, and the use of medicinal herbs from her elders, knowledge that lives on through intergenerational exchange. More than an individual portrait, the documentary is an invitation to listen—to listen to the forest, to the women, and to everything that still resists within it.
