Planet Drum Foundation’s unique focus is the idea that everyone lives in a
bioregion.
|
 |
 bioregion:
a distinct area with coherent and interconnected plant and animal
communities, and natural systems, often defined by a watershed. A
bioregion is a whole "life-place" with unique requirements for human
inhabitation so that it will not be disrupted and injured. |

Winter Olympics Monitoring Action: Guard
Fox Watch
|
|
(Index to Winter Olympic Games' Actions)
|
| Planet Drum Foundation has opposed the environmental impacts of the
Winter Olympics since 1996, when wildlife biologist Kimiharu
To from Nagano,
Japan contacted Peter Berg for assistance to inform the local residents and others
about
the consequences they would suffer from the 1998 Winter Games. After monitoring
the1998 Games, they formed Guard Fox Watch (GFW) to
safeguard safety for the near-wild watershed areas threatened by media spectacle
sports destruction. GFW has observed and critiqued successive Games at
Salt Lake City, USA (2002), Turin, Italy (2006) and Vancouver, Canada
(2010). |
What approach can we take to begin
living sustainably wherever we are located?
Planet Drum was founded in 1973 to provide an
effective grassroots approach
to ecology that emphasizes sustainability,
community self-determination and regional
self-reliance. In association with community
activists and ecologists, Planet
Drum developed the concept of a bioregion. Through its
projects, publications, speakers, and
workshops, Planet Drum helps start new bioregional
groups and encourages
local organizations and individuals to find ways
to live within the natural
confines of bioregions. [more]
