 | | The Earth Institute's Nirupam Bajpai is working on scaling up services in three Indian states that are home to a third of the population of India, mostly of whom are poor villagers. |
 | | The Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) and the World Bank have produced "Where the Poor Are: An Atlas of Poverty," a series of maps detailing spatially referenced data on hunger, child mortality, income poverty and other related indicators at the global, regional, national and local scales. |
 | | "One of the reasons I love being at the Earth Institute is because people don’t ask, ‘Why would a trained economist be interested in ecology or diseases?’" says Matthew Bonds, one of the new Fellows at the Earth Institute. |
