Description: http://www.sierraclub.org/corridor/ HELP US TO KEEP THE CORRIDOR A RESERVE: VISIT IT, SING THE PETITION https://secure2.convio.net/sierra/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=2735, PROMOTE AN ACTION IN SOLIDARITY, GATHER PHOTOPETITIONS AROUND YOUR COMMUNITY-UNIVERSITY-SCHOOL, CREATE A PROJECT RELATED TO THE NEC, A SONG DEDICATED TO THE LEATHERBACK, WHAT ELSE, LET US KNOW! After a six year struggle against two mega hotel industries the Northeastern Ecological Corridor (N.E.C) of Puerto Rico was declared a reserve. Four watersheds form the structure of the reserve where two ecosystems will be restored. Interviews, Digital Storytelling and focal groups in adjacent communities will be done to assess Local Ecological Knowledge. Involving local community action in the management of the NEC secures its protection if under peril again, therefore safeguarding and promoting the conservation of threatened native and endemic species along with the water supply of its adjacent communities. The 3,000-acre NEC is one of the Caribbean's great biodiversity hotspots. The NEC is known as one of the most important nesting sites for critically endangered Leatherback sea turtles in the U.S. It also supports an extraordinary array of tropical habitats seldom found in other parts of the world--from coral communities, mangrove and coastal pre-Columbian forests, a bioluminescent lagoon, which are home to more than 50 rare, threatened, and endemic species. The NEC's importance extends to other nearby sites such as El Yunque National Forest, the only rain forest managed by the U.S. Forest Service. This federal agency has publicly stated that the NEC's conservation as a nature reserve is vital to protect the ecological integrity of El Yunque National Forest from the pressures of urban encroachment. The NEC was finally designated as a nature reserve in April 2008, more than three decades after it was originally proposed by the Puerto Rico Coastal Zone Management Program in 1978.

Description: Linking schools, institutions and communities for a comprehensive and action based environmental curricula. http://www.ciudadesgaia.org/mision.aspx, GAIA is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing eco citizen (Robert Hull 2005) initiatives that facilitate the formation of environmental groups in K-12 schools. To do this GAIA has to move beyond the school walls and create a link between school, institutions and communities for a comprehensive environmental education. Linking art, culture, ecology and environmentalism. By doing maps in the different schools were we work with we travel around the city with the children, seeing and trying to understand what they see as problems.Growing up in the inner-city exposes youth to a great cultural diversity and it takes the keener eye to see the biological diversity that also lies within the urban-biome. After learning and researching what troubles us in our communities, take actions and advocate in creative and many times artistic ways for those things that we want to change.

Description: Our goal is to have our federal representatives sign a clean, bold, and just energy bill and President Obama sign an international climate treaty in Copenhagen THIS year. We'll be coordinating closely with the leadership of the Missouri Student Environmental Coalition and other local/national organizations to develop and implement the campaign, including the Missouri Power Shift Summit that's going to take place at St. Louis University on Oct. 16-18. The summit planning steadily moves along as we collaborate with groups, such as the Real Food Challenge (http://realfoodchallenge.org/) and Alliance for Climate Education (http://www.climateeducation.org/). What do you want to see at the summit? I am continuously inspired during my travels across Missouri. During my trip to Kirksville, MO, I met with multiple student groups and attended the Truman State University Sustainability Summit where students, faculty, staff, administration, and community members envisioned life in 2020. What can happen when we collaborate and unify to address the needs and dreams of our communities? Rockport, MO moves in this direction as the first city in the United States 100% powered by wind energy. The citizens of Missouri answered the call when they passed Prop C last year to create a renewable energy standard. Now, our nation needs help and we need to answer the call. Rather, we need to call Senators Kit Bond and Claire McCaskill and President Obama and express urgency to pass the clean energy bill and international climate treaty. It's time to use our MOPS to clean up the dirty, unjust energy of today and build an economically viable, socially just, and environmentally responsible energy future!
