About Me |
|
Seacology is the world's premier nonprofit environmental organization with the sole purpose of preserving the highly endangered biodiversity and cultures of islands throughout the world. In the last 400 years the majority of the world's plant and animal extinctions have taken place on islands, leading biologist Dr. Peter J. Bryant to call this unprecedented rate of species extinctions "one of the swiftest and most profound biological catastrophes in the history of the earth." Seacology searches for WIN-WIN situations where both the local environment is protected and islanders receive some tangible benefit for doing so. We have built many kindergartens, community centers, renewable energy generators and water delivery systems in exchange for the establishment of marine or forest reserves.
