Keeping connected is important as we all work towards global solutions!  Worldwide there are many active local environmental organizations dedicated to their own ecological and social mission statements. Ecology International intends to work with and assist many of these organizations see the “bigger picture” and share their data and resources more effectively in addressing the broader based global issues as well as their own more site-specific interests.

EI is developing an interactive web site and will be providing physical meeting sites for sharing of essential data and ideas. It will also use its scientific and political contacts to lobby for a much more stable and larger funding base so that participating organizations can more effectively plan and implement longer term objectives.

The following links provide examples of other ecologically oriented groups and companies committed to identifying and resolving the Earth's ecological issues and promoting new innovative and sustainable "Green" technologies:

International Programme on the State of the Ocean (IPSO) - established by scientists from around the world whose aim is saving the Earth and all life on it.  IPSO's unique consortium of scientists and other Ocean experts — including those from the legal, communications and political arenas — identify the current problems, project the future outcomes of these problems and develop workable solutions to alter the trajectory of degradation.

Global Footprint Network - established in 2003 to enable a sustainable future where all people have the opportunity to live satisfying lives within the means of one planet.  GFN has standardized the use of the Ecological Footprint to monitor how close we are to the goal of sustainable living. Footprint accounts work like bank statements, documenting whether we are living within our ecological budget or consuming nature’s resources faster than the planet can renew them.

350.org - an international campaign dedicated to building a movement to unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis - the solutions that science and justice demand.
