ECOTERRA Intl. is the
Global Society for ECOlogy and sound ECOnomy, an
independent, international civil society organisation (CSO), registered as
non-governmental organisation (NGO), working as humanitarian agency
(NGHA) as well as in development, if it is respecting traditional values
of tribal peoples, their right to self-determination and works for better
sustainability. We are committed to work for our common future, a
better today and tomorrow on earth (TERRA).
| ECOTERRA's mandate is to care
for the natural environment and to safeguard and improve environmental,
nature's, human and civil rights. We act in the spirit of the consequent
realisation of the World Charter for Nature, the Rio Declaration on
Environment, the Convention on Biological Diversity as well as other
international conventions caring for all life on earth.

ECOTERRA's work is performed
by an international network of activists, professional volunteers and the
qualified staff. Funding and assistance to the various programmes and
projects is provided by individual supporters and sponsors as well as
qualifying governmental, inter-governmental and non-governmental donors,
thus assuring independence from the dominance of a single donor, which is
essential to maintain the optimal freedom for our unbiased work.
ECOTERRA as charity is
politically and religiously independent,
non-sectarian, non-partisan and non-profit oriented, an equal opportunity
employer without any ethnic restrictions.
ECOTERRA assists and engages
without preference of race, creed, nationality, religion or gender and
tries to employ underprivileged people, wherever possible.
Host communities and the
respective governments therefore recognise and respect our independent,
humanitarian and impartial activities, respond positively to our security
requirements and facilitate unhindered, rapid and equal access to people,
lives and areas in need.
THE ECO²TERRA LOGO
___/¯¯¯
The central part of the
ECO²TERRA logo __/¯¯ symbolises the long-term development curve, which
is followed by every sound and naturally developing system or form of
life, wisely adapting to a given environmental capacity, thereby realising
the existence of other systems and allowing optimal diversity of other
forms, which in turn are safeguarding its own survival base, but limit its
growth. This order to sustain, enhance but limit the own existence, guided
by instinct, traditional respect or wise insight characterises all intact
natural systems and populations and provides the guideline for wise
individual development. It leads to the niche and net approach for the
daily life of all living populations within the natural systems existing
on earth. This is what sustainability is all about. Excessive growth or
non-restriction, which is non-adaptive and thereby over-stretching the
given capacity, leads to the decline and finally destruction of individual
forms of life, populations, diversity, culture and even whole systems. Any
such loss creates imbalances. War is peoples unwise answer to readjust
systems out of balance. To maintain balanced systems of highest diversity
therefore is the key to peace !
