The change in the view of the world about the environment and natural resources, the decline of justice approach, loss of solidarity, welfare, and respect to human being and nature. Besides, we describe health from a historical scenario of this region, where Public health has and will have as a challenge the application of programs that respond to the specific needs of this population, with a focus on the environment. |
