For two years now, I have been wondering what role humans can have in positively affecting ecosystems. I am trying to put all the pieces of my passion and training in ecology, sustainability & permaculture into work experiences and living opportunities.
Last year, I was invited to help design and initiate the eco-forestry based food-fibre-fuel and medicine forest for a 600 hectare
project in the Amazon of Peru - this blog will be an online space to share the
experiences learning, living and working in these places I
am becoming part of around South America. These are aspects of projects who are
working towards a sustainable vision for humans in tropical jungles -
In my separate jungle blog, I will share my
experiences about the challenges, successes and dreams of people in the
projects I am working with during the next 6 months and beyond. I am sure during writing that I will be coloured with a foreigner's
perspective, being that I am in a very new landscape and culture - I hope this is amusing
and useful for you - but I also hope to bring in other perspectives, too.
As always, I will be sharing poems when
they come to me, pictures where I can load them, and offering some inspired essays and
reports on the possibilities of strategic social and ecological sustainability,
rooted in community based efforts for ecosystem stewardship and the creation of thriving
well-being.
For this 6-month journey, I am packing
a small typing instrument, so I can easily record updates about ideas, poems
and projects that I am working with. I will be living primarily in places
"off-the-grid", and being removed from both electricity and internet
I will make postings - sometimes pulsed out on masse - when I am in towns.
Please stay posted with me.
