Great Communities for People and Nature

  about us
 
The Biodiversity Project is seeking examples of communities that have adopted unique and effective activities that result in positive outcomes for biodiversity.  “Activity” is a broad term that
can include projects, programs, events, local policy initiatives and so on.  Each community will be chosen based on activities that demonstrate an outstanding effort to protect biodiversity within the community.  We are looking for communities of varying sizes throughout the U.S. and are especially interested in those that do not yet have a reputation for sustainability but are making
important strides in their efforts to protect local biodiversity
.

Many nominations have already been received.  See the stories that the Biodiversity Project has collected at www.biodiversityproject.org/communitystories.htm. If you do not see a story listed under your state, we encourage you, or those you know, to submit a story about a Great Community for People and Nature.
