LEARN ABOUT CREATURES
(IN OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS)
this project is called LOCAL BIOLOGY (until we think of something better)
About the Local Biology Project
This website is the backbone of the Local Biology project. The website's main purpose is to support bringing together new naturalists, rangers, biologists, and anyone else interested in learning about and sharing knowledge about our experience of the living Earth.
Here are some details about how we expect this website to grow:
- The website is organized by place, and each member represents his or her own home-town. Each home-town fits into regions. Regions can be neighborhoods, school districts, towns, cities, ecological niches, or other configurations of groups of people living in proximity to one another.
- Folks participating in the local biology project through the website may write and share in their own language. The goal of the website is to grow to seamlessly incorporate all forms of human communication through highly accessible video, audio, text and images.
- We will grow a public calendar of local nature-related events, volunteer opportunities, seasonal information, organized by geographic location (regions).
Local Biology participants will write reviews and document these events so as to encourage more citizen support of local conservation efforts. The reason for this is that currently, it is quite difficult to locate these opportunities, even with a giant internet.
© 2009 Local Biology, a social business
A social business is owned by the people who directly benefit, and need its existence. We all benefit from the earth, and knowing about the earth, therefore, the earth owns Local Biology and we are simply noticing her, and how she created us.
It is by being a social business today that we can reach out to all people who want to understand the world they live in - the science, the spirit, the changing planet. We can reach around walls built by schools and other educational institutions, television, media, science, religion, language and country.
We know that we love and care about our Earth and in this we unite as this 'social business,' the business being that we are all working together to bring this knowledge together on this website and to other real projects in our towns — working with our own communities and, especially, friends.
