Dear beautiful man and beloved friend ... our love surrounds you. You are never alone, as God, Great Spirit, Holy Blessed Mother, gods, goddesses and Angelic Beings enfold you in the blessed embrace and hold you in the healing light. Tonight I begin a prayer vigil for your recovery.

Here on Staten Island, the EPA has been able to acquire and preserve some of the wetlands surrounding the island. Just a few weeks ago, however, there were people writing into the local paper kicking up some dust about this preservation. The want the land for their OWN use, their own selfishness. My boss, who calls people like me Eco Idiots, doesn't understand or even care to understand the value of it all. There's another piece of land that would be perfect for the greedy jerk who wants another building on an island that's overcrowed as it is that is also protected. It is protected because there are precious plants that are critical to cancer research. Here's a little piece as to just how vital the wetlands are to the community and the world and how man's interference with nature is nothing less than doom:

Wetlands serve as a natural filter to harmful chemicals in our waters. They provide storm protection and erosion control, as well as food and habitat to numerous fish and other wildlife. About 80% of the harbor's tidal wetlands and underwater lands have been lost to filling, dredging, and other human activities. The acquisition of this property is a key incremental step in the preservation of the remaining ecologically important sites. The action is consistent with the goal set in 2003 by the New York-New Jersey Harbor Estuary Program, a multi-stakeholder program authorized by the Clean Water Act, that aims to acquire or preserve 2,700 acres of habitat by 2009.

I attended a Sisters of Earth conference in Minnesota two years ago and renowned environmental activist and indigenous leader Winona LaDuke served as guest speaker. She spoke about destruction of the native lands in MN, but within the context of how tribes are forming in solidarity to bring about Earth healing. I was moved and inspired by her words and the actions she is taking as a strong EcoFeminist leader to unite her people in positive ways that are bringing about permanent social change. The youth of the Indian tribes have taken on strong roles, including forming video production teams that spotlight their concerns. Earth healing is beautiful yin energy. Winona's White Earth Land Recovery Project inspires me to no end. I am always happy to learn of other Earth Healing efforts that inspire and give hope for a better tomorrow.

ECO KUDOS

The Indianapolis Prize is the largest individual monetary award for animal species conservation in the world and is given as an unrestricted gift to the chosen honoree by the Eli Lilly and Company Foundation.

The award is not designed to be a quiet, academic, scientist-focused event, but instead an energetic and spectacular celebration of conservation victories. The goal is to inspire the general public to start caring about conservation, and to place heroes, who live in tents in danger of both wild beasts and poachers, on the pedestal that we usually reserve for sports and entertainment stars.

The recent East Asian Seas (EAS) Congress held in Manila, Philippines, concluded with the signing of the Agreement Recognizing the Legal Personality of Partnerships in the Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia. This Agreement creates a fully-fledged international body to work for sustainable development of the region’s coastal and marine areas.

With both acknowledged and possible calamities as compelling and urgent
catalysts, Raincoast Conservation is advocating for British Columbia's first fully protected salmon runs. The move is an effort to save the grizzly bear species.

This bold and ambitious proposal runs contrary to the historical underpinnings of salmon management, as fisheries managers have always assumed that salmon exist exclusively for human consumption.

According to Raincoast, it is a matter of competition, and the odds are stacked against carnivores in these coastal salmon forests.

TAKE ACTION!

Become part of the Backyard Revolution and landscape for wildlife.

Replace your lawn with native shrubs, flowers and trees. Plant a butterfly garden, and put in a pond. You'll benefit from the beauty and tranquility of your yard, and wildlife will benefit from the food and water sources that you provide.

Need some guidance? Read the book Bringing Nature Home.

Half of all animal species will be extinct in our lifetime, unless emissions peak by 2020. Cut greenhouse gas emissions by reducing your energy consumption, learning more about climate change and getting active in community efforts to heal the Earth. Become part of the solution.
