Our Mission
Our mission is to promote use of our natural resources in a sustainable manner and minimal disruption of our natural ecosystems. We achieve this by engaging in and promoting on-the-ground restorative projects to address destruction and waste of our natural resources and by teaching about the environment and its conservation.
"The key to natural resource conservation is education.'" [source?]
We are conducting education about the environment in Haiti and in the US. [Need more here, or may be this should move elsewhere.]
What has resulted from the erosion?
When the tropical rains pounds down on the bare soil, the surface flow takes all that soil with it to the oceans.
- Erosion is one of the problems that has crippled the economy.
- Erosion threatens food security through loss in agriculture production.
- Massive landslides are worsened by unstable soils due to deforestation, killing thousands of people and animals during hurricanes.
- Soil erosion removes the critical topsoil necessary for agriculture from lands, where it is needed to oceans, where it covers marine plants and reduces growth. Top soil takes dozens of years to regenerate.
