Sea Turtle Conservation Group

Working together for the conservation of sea turtles worldwide

This group was formed to create a common space for the many people and organizations worldwide who are interested in sea turtle conservation. Group members are encouraged to create and contribute to wiki pages about the many aspects of sea turtle conservation. It is hoped that as the group lends supports to its individual members, best practices will be shar ...learn more

Electric Brick - ElBrick
Electric Generating Mortar Brick
Problem: The problem as the majority of people think now, is the climate change. I for my part say that it is a question of a climate mixing. I mean that the climate zones of the Earth, the tropic, sub-tropic, temperate, sub-arctic and arctic, are mixing at an accelerating pace. The most important point is not if the average temperature of the global climate is rising or falling or keeping as such, but the key point is the melting of the continental glaciers that will not happen peacefully. The warm a...

Action: Electric Brick - El-Brick, My Free Invention   The El-Brick is an electric generating brick that gives a certain direct current and voltage when it is heated on one side, and kept cool on the other side. The El-Brick takes advantage of a phenomenon called heat electricity, not the photo voltaic one. When bricks like this are connected in a parallel, as well as in a series, greater currents, voltages and powers can be gained. Even entire brick walls could be built from them to absorb the elect...

Problem: Every forest has some environmental and social value. The values it contains may include rare species, recreational sites or resources harvested by local residents. Where these values are considered to be of outstanding significance or critical importance, the forest can be defined as a High Conservation Value Forest (HCVF). Although the Forest Stewardship Council  provides the generic def...

Action: The key to the concept of HCVFs is the identification of High Conservation Values (HCVs): it is these values that are important and need to be protected. High Conservation Value Forests are simply the forests where these values are found, or, more precisely, the forest area that needs to be appropriately managed in order to maintain or enhance the identified values. Identifying these areas is therefore the essential first step in developing appropriate management for them. The HCVF concept w...

Managing for Cavity-Nesting Birds in Ponderosa Pine Forests
Landowner Stories in Bird Conservation
Problem: Dry forests dominated by ponderosa pine are distributed widely throughout the west at lower elevations, often representing the first forest zone above lower elevation grasslands and sagebrush. Historically, these forests burned at regular intervals of 5-25 years, promoting an open, uneven-aged forest, dominated by large pines with open grassy and shrub understories. Because fires were generally of low intensity, more than 70% of the acres of this forest type were stands of large, mature pines...

Action: The Role of Private Lands Private lands can play a key role in the conservation of ponderosa pine habitats and the birds that depend on them. Approximately 44% of the 15 million acres of ponderosa pine forest in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho is on private lands. Many ponderosa pine forests on private lands are adjacent to public forest lands, providing an opportunity to enhance their value through cooperative efforts with public land managers. Many of these forests are interspersed with grass...

Beyond Environmentalism
taking nature to a new level
Problem: There is a need to deepen, and awaken, the level of the nature-human relationship across the planet.

Action: To present material that demonstrates a deeper communion with nature.
