Douglas mcmeekin: yachana - geotourism and sustainable development

The Yachana Foundation, which works in the Amazon region of Ecuador, successfully achieves sustainable development through tourism and education. Geotourism, a term coined by the National Geographic, is tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place - its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-being of its residents. This is the commitment of the Foundation through the award winning Yachana Lodge. The Lodge, now part of the Foundation, besides being an incredible place for visitors to see and learn about the Amazon, is also a teaching facility for the Yachana Technical High School and an income generator to help support the school. Education, sustainable tourism and protection of the rainforest are all subjects that Douglas McMeekin will bring to his presentation.

Peace parks foundation

'Peace parks' join fragmented wildlife habitats and form an interconnected mosaic of protected areas and cross-border wildlife corridors, which allow for the free movement of animals across international boundaries. They offer conservation as a viable land-use option for the benefit of the local people and allow them to utilise their natural resources sustainably. In 1997, Dr Anton Rupert, together with Dr Nelson Mandela and HRH Prince Bernard of the Netherlands, founded Peace Parks Foundation (PPF). Their goal was to create a network of protected areas across international borders to ensure the preservation of southern Africa's biological diversity whilst at the same time supporting sustainable economic development and promoting regional peace and stability. Since then, PPF has made great strides towards making their shared vision a reality, by facilitating the establishment of ten Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCA's) across southern Africa. The TFCA concept is one which operates in harmony with surrounding communities, creating sustainable local, national and regional benefit flows, and providing local people with a reason to protect their natural assets. www.peaceparks.org

Zeitgeist 3: moving forward (nl subs/ondertitel - full length)

Zeitgeist: Moving Forward [2011] by director Peter Joseph is a 162 minute film work which continues what the prior two films of the Zeitgeist Film Series started: a critical look at the "Zeitgeist" or 'Spirit /Awareness of the Time'. A prominent underlying thesis of the Film Series is that a great many notions, beliefs and practices currently engaged in today and assumed as "presupposed", "given" or seemingly empirical to our societal approaches and values are not only intellectually/historically incorrect but highly detrimental to our personal and social progress and sustainability. Zeitgeist: Moving Forward focuses on the very fabric of the social order: Monetary-Market Economics. While the majority of the world today have slowly come to see some basic flaws in the economic system we share, as large scale debt defaults, inflation, industrial pollution, resource depletion, rising cancer rates and other signposts emerge to bring the concern into the realm of "public health" overall, very few however consider the economic paradigm as a whole as the source. The tendency is to demand reform in one area or another, avoiding the possibility that perhaps the entire system is intrinsically flawed at the foundational level. ZMF presents the case that it is, indeed, the very foundational mechanics of this system that generates the patterns of behavior and unsustainable methods of conduct that are leading to the vast spectrum of detrimental consequences both personal, social, and ...

You can follow us on: Facebook bit.ly Twitter twitter.com Blog: www.ashdenawards.org More than 70% of sub-Saharan Africa has no access to electricity. In rural areas this often exceeds 95%. REF has met this need by turning local communities on to solar. Recognising that the products are nothing without the local entrepreneurs to promote and install them, REF has trained local networks of budding entrepreneurs. As a result, in only three years 300000 people in nine countries have gained access to solar energy. And better quality light gives opportunities for study, income-generation and leisure activities as well as vital access to radio and mobile phones.

Summer of sustainability - australian music festivals

Summer of Sustainability is an action learning partnership between government, non-profit organisations and some of Australia's leading commercial music festivals. In the summer of 2008, Sustainability Victoria went out to 5 Victorian music festivals to find out what they thought about sustainable events. The questions were simple - what did the festivals think about sustainability? what were they already doing? And how did they think they could do it better? Along the way, the partnership grew to include Victoria's Sustainable Living Foundation (SLF). The SLF are developing an online events planner to accelerate the uptake of sustainable events. It'll include leading event profiles, 'how to' guides and resources, a sustainable events products and services directory and a video/innovators hub (including the full Summer of Sustainability 2008 dvd).

Maa foundation project bangladesh

This video shows the area and work which MAA does in Chittagong, Bangladesh. It first shows the work the children and parents do, as well as where they live. Cut to the MAA teacher entering into the resource center built inside the communal housing. Ends with a function to celebrate the school year-end! MAA works with a two tiny groups of 10 children, starting at the age of 5-7. We had them enrolled in the local government school (which is supposed to be free and compulsory), provide them with pencils, notebooks, uniforms, shoes. After going to school, we give them a nutritious lunch and they spend the rest of the day with the teacher, doing homework, playing games (all supplies provided by us), arts, music... The idea is to give them the home-support that is lacking, as well as encourage cognitive learning while maintaining links w/ the local environment for long-term sustainability. It has been 2 years since we started and in that time, 9 children have received government awards. One child was chosen to feature in an Asian Heroes documentary by Channel News Asia. All 22 children are amongst the top 15 in their class (each class having close to 200 students). The amazing thing about this is that when they started, they didn't even know how to hold a pencil! for more info: www.maaf.ca

Aid foundation, philippines, ram pumps - water for villages - ashden award winner

This video can be downloaded here: www.ashdenawards.org AID Foundation won an Ashden Award for Sustainable Energy in 2007. You can follow us on: Facebook bit.ly Twitter twitter.com Blog: www.ashdenawards.org Alternative Indigenous Development Foundation Inc. has developed and installed newly designed ram pumps in 68 hillside villages in the Philippines. These ram pumps, capable of pumping water up to 200 metres high, are bringing clean water to over 15000 people who previously had to undertake often difficult and dangerous journeys just in order to collect clean water. They now have ample water supply, around 200 to 1000 litres/day for each household, which is used for washing, sanitation and irrigating crops. By developing an improved ram pump design and involving communities in installation and maintenance, AIDFI has avoided the pitfalls other ram pump projects encountered which made them ultimately unsustainable. With the support of the community, AIDFI pumps can last at least twenty years. The success of the scheme has also changed the mindset of local people who now see renewable energy as the best option for them. There is a huge need for this type of technology in areas where there is no immediate access to clean running water.

www.davidlynchfoundation.org Bill Clinton: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to address the Ho-Chunk Elders International Conference on building healthy, sustainable American Indian communities. When I left the White House I started the Clinton Foundation to address the global issues I cared most about, in areas where I knew I could still make an impact.

Your work has prevented and actually reversed the onslaught of diabetes which strikes up to 80% of Native peoples. You've generated clean energy and self-sufficiency for American Indians by harnessing nature's wind and solar resources.
