The Consortium for Conservation Medicine (CCM) was established in 1997 as an environmental health collaborative consortium of Wildlife Trust, Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, and Harvard Medical School's Center for Health and the Global Environment. In 2001, the National Wildlife Health Center (U.S. Geological Survey) joined the partnership. The mission of CCM is to advance biological diversity conservation and ecosystem health through interdisciplinary biomedical research and education, and to foster human and animal well-being by understanding the ecological context of health.
