Abstract
The previous chapters outlined the research methodology and processes involved in conducting an ecohealth research project, and how these were operationalized through case studies. In this chapter we step out of the research process and reflect on some of the challenges and ethical dilemmas that participatory ecohealth research projects present and how we might respond to these challenges.
