In the ‘liquid continent’ of Oceania, habitat loss, invasive species, pollution and climate change undermine ecosystem functionality. This in turn is both directly and indirectly linked to primary health complications in the region. Indigenous peoples’ holistic expressions of wellbeing involve more than just a personal perspective of health, instead incorporating broader concepts of ecosystem wellbeing, and the health of place. The Oceanian experience highlights the need for new place-based approaches and practices which more clearly align efforts in conservation with human health. The health and catchment management sectors need integrated solutions to intrinsically linked problems. Integrated tools and solutions are required to the point where we see conservation and environmental management as preventative medicines, and where we can justify conservation actions using health based indicators. Key ideas and messages Our humanness is defined by the top 60cm of soil and the health of our water.
