Health In Harmony is an international, woman-founded nonprofit dedicated to reversing global heating, understanding that rainforests are essential for the survival of humanity. Using the innovative process of Radical Listening, Health In Harmony collaborates with the experts – rainforest communities – to create the change the planet needs by addressing the health of people, ecosystems and the planet. Humanity must halve atmospheric carbon by 2030, and Health In Harmony is committed to making a significant impact on this drawdown. In order to scale, our work is deeply rooted in monitoring, data, and evaluation.

Dr. Kinari Webb, an Ashoka and Mulago Fellow, founded Health In Harmony as a response to the devastation she saw in the rainforests of Borneo, Indonesia in 2006. The HIH model recognizes the inextricable link between human and environmental health by focusing on the nexus between healthcare and protection of natural resources using our unique Radical Listening approach.

A 2020 study by Stanford University described the ten-year impact at the proof-of-concept site in West Kalimantan, Indonesia and was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. Based on those positive results, HIH initiated a plan to scale – adding sites in another rainforest in West Kalimantan (Bukit Baka Bukit Raya), the Manombo Rainforest in Southern Madagascar, and the Xingu Basin of the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil.
