Wow…….to say the least!
I just returned from a vortex of energy in
The event was absolutely off the hook!!!!!
It brought 170 delegates from over 70 countries together,
from a multitude of disciplines and backgrounds, to collaborate on—get this, new
approaches for protecting human health and well-being through the conservation
and sustainable use of the world's biological diversity.
Yay, its about time!
Delegates included representatives of United Nations agencies, governmental orgs, NGOs, IGOs, (all the ooo’s, ohh's, ahh's and egg heads too!) academic institutions, health and environmental practitioners, students, and community representatives, including indigenous community leaders from every continent.
Many, many thanks to Conor Kretsch, COHAB Secretariat (one of the smartest most humble guys I know), and, Fidelma Murray, Event Coordinator (event king-pin!) for their vision, hard work and determination, and the great time! Many more to come on this road, I am sure!

The event outputs including DVD on opening and closing plenary (including our preso “Healing Across Cultures”) will be online.
Energy and commitment to all those who’s paths have once again merged with our own!
That's a great link you posted. I think more people need to know about this, and how the world is coming together and realizing that we had it right at one time. Keep us posted on any developments. I, for one, would be happy to support any efforts toward this!
