WOlf Gardens Wildlife Center is loacted in the East Centtral mountains of Alabama. Over half of Clay County is located in the Talladega National Forest.

We are home to a number of endangered adn protected wildlife species.

The completion of Wolf Gardens Wildlife Center which is a Wildlife Rescue, Rehab adn Education Center, animals that have been left to live or die in their own will be able to have help.

Our education program will teach not only about the badly needed conservation needs but will also work to create protected boundaries in National Forest ares for wild release of rehabilitated animals.

Our education orogram will also focus on the ills of breedin gwild animals for pets.

On the up said we will also develop interpretive trails and educational programs on environmental conservation,wildlife conservation and the need for volunteers and interaction through general public interest.

Nature based and wildlife based tourism will be developed in order to make Wolf Gardens Sel Supportive inclding campgrounds and RV parks in order to improved economic community development for our local communities.

By using Wolf Gardens Wildlife Center we will be able to teach other very rural communities how do develop good, strong economies for theri areas without destroying their environments.

Wolf Gardens wants to set te standards for Wildlife Centers not simply follow the standards.

Wolf Gardens Wildlife Center is  the community development prooject of the First Nations Outreach Project a 501 (c) 3 Native American Religious Non Prooooofit Organization.

Richard Leakey founded WildlifeDirect in 2005 (originally named Africa Conservation Fund) to address the chronic shortfall of funds for conservation in Africa, by devising an innovative mechanism to generate global concern and deliver technical support and sustainable funding for protection of Africa’s key conservation areas. This would enable conservation managers to be effective, while also responding quickly to conservation emergencies, thus ensuring that the wildlife assets in these places to survive despite economic challenges. WildlifeDirect prioritizes key ecosystems and habitats for example important centers of biodiversity where protected areas cannot depend on tourism revenues alone for the conservation of this heritage in Africa such as the Masai Mara,  the Albertine Rift and species like mountain gorillas, elephants and lions.

Blogs on wildlifedirect written by mainly African conservationists brings the voice from the field to a global platform where it raises awareness, gets picked up by media, and gives these heroes the recognition they deserve. 

CO2Stats is making the Internet environmentally friendly. It has been calculated that the electricity consumption of the computers powering the Internet is responsible for throwing more than 1 billion pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere. Our tool monitors the environmental footprint of blogs and websites and purchases renewable energy certificates to offset those emissions. We are integrating our software with Yahoo!'s YSlow API to profile the energy usage of websites, in order to identify additional means for minimizing the existing footprint. Launched by Tim Sullivan and myself in 2007, CO2Stats has already been adopted by more than 2,000 websites and makes greener the Internet surfing of millions of users per month. A virally popular mashup, it has been featured in Mashable, Scientific American, Earth2Tech, O'Reilly Radar, Xconomy, and the San Jose Mercury News.

Communities will learn about and care for their local environment and plan for a sustainable future. They will "think globally and act locally"

The Climate Champions Facebook application is a project of We Can Solve It aims to harness the existing social relationships and viral nature of the Facebook platform to empower people to educate their friends, family, classmates and colleagues about global warming and to engage a wider audience in helping to solve the climate crisis through a mix of activism and personal practices.

Our hope is that Climate Champions will significantly raise awareness of the climate change crisis and generate significant policy impact to help solve it. In addition, the application is structured to provide a win-win situation -- for every friend a user recruits, every petition they sign, etc., money will be donated to supporting climate change solutions via the We Can Solve It campaign.

StuffBee aims to promotes “give and take” on Mobiles

StuffBee gives the opportunity to anybody having redundant objects to avoid trashing them by meeting other persons in need of those objects within the same geographic area, thanks to their mobile and Internet.

Benefits are multiple: increasing interaction between unknown persons, save time and money, avoid recycling.

At first sight, this project may seems exactly the same as "Freecycle Cellular Osmosis" but the application is operational and the project scope is broader:

- Deploy the ultimate "give & take" application in hands of 3 billion users.

- Broadcast the free object database created by mobile users with existing "give & take" websites to unify users of Internet and Mobile communities.

- Help bulky object departments to broadcast reusable stuff to persons living within the publication area instead of recycling usable objects.

- Help local humanitarian associations by increasing visibility of available items and give a better service to people in need.

StuffBee has been designed initially for Android mobiles. It will soon be ported to all other mobiles.

StuffBee is operational and shows an attractive, compelling, multithread design optimized to offer a rich give & take user experience.

Languages available are English and French.
In June, StuffBee will feature 10 Languages scaled to a total of 70 languages in September.

Givvy is a comprehensive online giving management system launching in early June. This is a real project with a dedicated team working without funding at this point.

Charitiable giving is personally and emotionally rewarding. By providing a framework and set of tools to improve the way we support our causes, Givvy users will feel more satisfied and successful with their giving.

Givvy is a system to enable donors to accomplish the following:

1. easily create and manage their giving plan
2. research over 1 million charities/nonprofits
3. execute their giving (donate thorugh Network for Good) and track donations made via other methods (mail, phone, etc.)
4. analyze their giving footprint - what types of charities, what geographic reach, how close their actual giving is to their plan, etc.

At Givvy we believe that better tools for giving can result in a better world.

Our goal at The Youth Center summer environmental "green" camp is to teach kids that they can make a positive difference in their world by hands-on experience with their food, health, exercise and nutrition. They will begin by composting their own scraps, which they will use in their own garden. They will grow vegetables and learn about the value of sustainable farming practices and proper nutrition. They will also learn about proper exercise and will work with yoga instructors and nutritionists to learn how to properly care for themselves in a fast-moving world. At the end of the growing season, they will donate their hard-earned harvest to "Grow-a-Row," which will distribute the fresh foods to New Jersey food banks. The kids will learn about making a difference in the lives of others, as well as self-respect and what goes into the food we eat. They will develop an appreciation of nature through nature walks and canoeing trips with the parks department, and they will think twice before putting "garbage" foods into their bodies, as they will understand the process by which things become nutritious and nurturing.

This is a simple mashup using Network for Good’s donation API, with a particular focus on enhancing the donor experience with a virtualization of recent donations.

The NFG API mashed-up with a Google map would show all donations made to specific causes (by location) for a given time period over a US or World map.

This could be used on the homepage of Network for Good - to inspire others based on the action currently taking place.

Growing concern over climate change has prompted significant growth in voluntary markets for carbon offsets. This growth in the voluntary carbon markets represents a valuable new source of potential finance for sustainable development projects. However, only a limited number of development projects capitalize on this new finance source due to high capital costs and a low carbon price that undervalues their offsets. Live Climate solves this problem.

LiveClimate.org is a retail website that links greenhouse gas offset projects in low-income countries, with buyers who value the social and environmental co-benefits of their carbon offsets. The Live Climate retail channel directly connects the offset buyer with the project in a developing country that generated the offset. Vivid descriptions of the community, and people affected by each project and clear descriptions of the social co-benefits inform customers as they select an offset project to buy from. A mashup of maps and project information would allow customers to see where they will make an impact. Customers can get ongoing information about the projects they support through RSS feeds and continuing pictures.

Live Climate’s mission is threefold: 1) Fight climate change by financing verified greenhouse gas abatement projects, 2) Transform the voluntary carbon market to serve the poor by communicating the full social and environmental value of these projects, and 3) Raise the over revenue and share of the carbon market going to small-scale clean development projects.

The voluntary carbon market has come under significant scrutiny in recent years due to lack of transparency. The market continues to be dominated by a handful of large players, however, many new retailers have emerged even with the backlash due to low barriers to entry. These offset retailers all operate according to the same model looking to compete through price and brand name. Live Climate enters the voluntary carbon market with a fundamentally new product and business model. Operating as a non-profit, Live Climate will attract customers looking to maximize the social impact of their carbon offset purchase.

Live Climate is currently in Phase 1: Website Development and Pilot Launch. We plan a full launch of the website in early summer and are looking for help to make the site more interactive, through maps, connecting users, and personalized information.
