A New Type of Rural Development Starts in the Tropics As world demand for food, fiber, feed and fuel outpaces supply, increases in production are urgently needed. These needs must be achieved while maintaining and rebuilding forests and fisheries, as well as slowing the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Tropical nations hold the greatest potential to produce more food for the planet. By increasing the productivity of already-cleared land and building on recent successes in slowing deforestation, we can feed more people while ending deforestation and mitigating climate change. At Earth Innovation Institute, we foster this transition to low-emission rural development – a shift to economic growth that keeps forests and fisheries intact and rewards farmers, ranchers, and fishermen for using sustainable practices.
It is our hope that through greater awareness we can as a voice help preserve and protect all marine life. we will be addressing as well the impact of global warming and human interference has on our oceans creatures, as well as helping to bring awareness and educate the public about the issues of Captivity among Cetaceans and the fragile existence many of our marine mammals and cetaceans face in the world today. We will be posting many informative articles but we also warn you that from time to time there will be some graphic pictures that may disturb you. yet, we seek to reveal the truth and expose the horrors many of our marine life encounter. It is our hope to create empathy, concern, and greater participation through our readers, to sign as well, important petitions and perhaps on occasion write letters to the appropriate authorities when action is needed. We do welcome input as well and welcome any articles or post that would relate to the cause we are fighting for. however, please use proper discretion when commenting as we wish not to offend anyone. We wish to maintain proper decorum at all times.

The primary objectives and purposes of METI International are to: Conduct scientific research and educational programs in Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence (METI) and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Promote international cooperation and collaboration in METI, SETI, and astrobiology. Understand and communicate the societal implications and relevance of searching for life beyond Earth, even before detection of extraterrestrial life. Foster multidisciplinary research on the design and transmission of interstellar messages, building a global community of scholars from the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and arts. Research and communicate to the public the many factors that influence the origins, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe, with a special emphasis on the last three terms of the Drake Equation: (1) the fraction of life-bearing worlds on which intelligence evolves, (2) the fraction of intelligence-bearing worlds with civilizations having the capacity and motivation for interstellar communication, and (3) the longevity of such civilizations. Offer programs to the public and to the scholarly community that foster increased awareness of the challenges facing our civilization’s longevity, while encouraging individual and community activities that support the sustainability of human culture on multigenerational timescales, which is essential for long-term METI and SETI research.
