Eco-arks are bio-diverse botanical preserves dedicated to the continuation of useful (food, medicine, fiber) and threatened species of plant life. They provide open space for wildlife and sustainable and renewable resources for we two leggeds. They can be created in a variety of climatic conditions where natural weather patterns and water sources are optimal for their species.
I decided to finally start a group focused on the Eco-Ark Project. Its multiple purposes include raising awareness of the Eco-ark being built in the Puna Rain Forest, encouraging others to start similar projects in their own area, sharing ideas and methodologies for accomplishing these goals, spreading ideas concerning sustainable, Eco-friendly technologies and off grid community living. Spreading knowledge of organic permaculture techniques, to encourage the building of community gardens and the growing of food in publicly accessible places (Green Ribbon Project). And helping each other in restoring this pla

While in Tucson on February 10th, My friend Osalina Berman, Author of the upcoming e-book, "Amazon Herbs, A - Z" asked me to attend a company presentation with her and her husband. There I connected with the Amazon Herb group, including Olivia Newton John and her Man-friend, "Amazon John Easterling" as well as Mike Adams, "The Health Ranger". We are working on a plan to get some of these valuable and threatened Amazon medicinal plants to our preserve on Hawaii. There is much already planted and growing over there. But still much more to do. I will be getting back to that in late July, when the other volunteer builders and I return. A major element of the Eco-Arks mission is to create pockets of living, reproducing bio-diversity around the planet. With the intention of insuring their survival by the fact that not every environment will be hit by natural or environmental disaster at the same time. As long as we can keep these unique species alive somewhere, the potential for their re-establishment anywhere else can be strengthened.
