The LTFHC was glad to serve as a resource to journalist Jeffrey Gettleman in the preparation of this article featured in The New York Times. The article describes the potential environmental problems of treated mosquito nets being used to catch fish. Millions of mosquito nets are handed out to fight malaria, yet many faced with hunger in Africa use them as fishing nets to survive. Given the incredible value – and thus importance – of bed nets as a tool in reducing malaria incidence, but also recognizing the tens of millions of Africans that rely on fish for survival, the LTFHC views this as an opportunity to continue to sharpen efforts that save lives while also promoting the welfare of those affected.
