| Summary |
Island ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to animal and plant extinctions due to their isolated locations, islands are hotbeds for endemic plants and animals (species that exist nowhere else in the world). Furthermore vulnerable island ecosystems are often overlooked by conservationists because of their small size and remoteness. In response to this problem Seacology was created, a non-profit organisation that brokers deals with indigenous communities to set up protected marine and nature parks. Seacology offers indigenous communities something they may need such as a new school building and in return the indigenous population set up and crucially protect a new conservation park. Seacology's work establishes unusual exchange relationships that reflect both high ethical standards and innovative ways of preserving island cultures and physical environments |
