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

One of our missions is to encourage people around the world to form similar projects in their areas. The Eco-Ark Project on Hawaii will do little to solve our problems on a global scale. Many useful plants require different environments in order to thrive and reproduce. Even with our "optimal" conditions and extended growing seasons, some of the earths most useful plants require drier climates or winter chilling in order to complete their reproductive cycles. For this reason it is necessary for people around the world to follow our inspiration and "make it happen" in their local communities.
This thread is intended for all of you to share information about what is being done in your communities to further the goal of providing food, preserving botanical species and converting carbon dioxide (A greenhouse gas) back to oxygen through the perpetuation and nurturing of our treasured members of the plant kingdom.
Please list any links you have to other positive actions being taken to help re-green the planet.
