The Ecuadorian coastal city of Bahia de Caraquez has committed itself through
law to become ecological and sustainable. Planet Drum Foundation in San
Francisco, California helped create community awareness of issues there at a
celebration announcing the Ecological City Declaration in January 1999.
Since then, Planet Drum has established a field office and carried out a major
bioregional project to revegetate a city barrio with native trees for erosion
control against future mudslides and to create an urban "wild
corridor." We are currently working
on additional revegetation of hillsides, water supply and purity,
household ecology education, biological sewage treatment, alternative energy,
and others.
You are invited to assist or visit these projects. If you
are interested in doing so, please inform us as soon as possible so that we can
communicate further about details. Email us
or phone us at (415)285-6556, or fax at (415)285-6563.
