Information
Building partnerships for the communication needs of projects that support sustainable economic development
Location: International
Members: 38
Latest Activity: Oct 28
A project supported by the Research Cooperative
Mission: Providing help with communication for local communities in developing economies, and in environmentally sensitive regions.
Description: Our aim is to help field scientists who wish to help local communities. In developing economies and environmentally sensitive regions, natural resources are often in jeopardy because the local inhabitants are not able to earn a sustainable living for themselves and families.
Members of this group can offer or seek advice and communication support for trade and other activities involving enthno-cultural products, information networking, ecological accounting, and access to communication services. All members of the Research Cooperative are welcome to join, observe, and contribute.
By supporting better communication, we can all try to help preserve natural and human resources and the communities that depend on them.
The Messages area (below) can be used to discuss relevant issues, to introduce local initiatives and projects, to offer or seek help, and also to give leads to potentially useful resources online and elsewhere.
The Comments area (below) can be used for questions and comments regarding operation of this group within the Research Cooperative.
Role of the Research Cooperative: Our aim is to support the communication needs of scientific researchers involved with local communities, and vice versa. As communication needs become apparent, researchers and the people they work with may also use our main forums to offer or seek help.

About adding photos
We recommend adding just a few images of particular significance. Illustrators, for example, can add images to create a portfolio linked to their profile page.
