Desc990 PROGRAMS BRIEFING FOR 2022 Despite the many unusual challenges presented by a world impacted by dramatic challenges, 2022 was a very productive year for our U.S. headquarters. With each of the environmental challenges we take on, we apply a 6-step process: 1) Identify an important environmental problem; 2) Research it in depth to truly pinpoint its source; 3) Using logic, common sense, and science-based methods, find and/or develop a solution that has no environmental tradeoffs and would work for all involved; 4) Implement the solution or get it into the hands of those who will; 5) Create educational materials and solution models for export, as appropriate; 6) Repeat steps 1 to 5. While each situation has its own set of challenges, by following the steps above, we are able to take on a wide variety of environmental issues with the end goal in mind of restoring ecosystems to enhance the health and future of all life. Our 3 main areas of focus in 2022 were: 1) RESOLVING WATER ISSUES, including clean water supply scarcities caused by severe drought, water contamination, and flawed water management practices that are threatening the health of habitats. Our primary focus, this year, was on the continued advancement of our Deep Seated Water Technology. Deep-seated water is high-quality groundwater that is typically sourced from deep aquifers that are located below the shallow aquifers normally tapped into with water wells. Our Deep Seated Water Technology (DSW Tech) is a systematic method utilizing advanced technologies for locating previously-hidden, near-surface access points to these abundant alternative water resources. In addition to being a highly advanced method of locating deep sources of water, DSW Tech includes additional methods that help to restore healthy habitat. Here are the key milestones our DSW science and tech experts achieved this year: A. We improved technical methods by which regional studies are performed to identify the most likely, near-surface areas for water exploration through several field studies in California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, United Arab Emirates, and Australia. This work helped landowners and regional governing bodies lower the risk and expense of drilling dry boreholes. B. Massive regions around the world have been undergoing severe drought. Individual landowners as well as regional planners are in desperate need of more effective water management strategies. In 2022, we conducted advanced regional and property studies over a total of 7.7 million acres to identify Deep-Seated Water sources. C. As the average reported success rate for most water well drilling operations is about 40%, our advancements in analysis techniques to enable far more precise well drilling operations is an enormous leap forward for the science of water location and drilling. Our work in 2022 included the continued development and integration of different GIS (Geospatial Information Systems) software programs, creating an ever-improving, advanced, one-of-kind proprietary process for identifying water exploration zones. We continue to formalize these processes into technical checklists to enable the training of others so that this does not become a lost technology. D. Of particular importance to a large region of the U.S. is a water location study we did regarding the largest aquifer in the country - the Ogalala. This enormous underground body of water lies beneath seven States and is being over drawn by the large-scale demand for agricultural production in the region. Without a new solution to the problem, the alarming reduction of this water resource portends a very negative impact on agricultural capacities in the near future. Our study, and the subsequent water well drilled exactly where we directed, showed that, with our technology, significant water resources can be found below the Ogalala that, if tapped into, would allow the Ogalala to recharge (refill) without denying water resources to the vitally important farming community. 2) RESTORING DYING LAND, SOIL AND HABITAT: Desertification is the process by which fertile land becomes desert, typically because of drought, deforestation, and/or unsustainable agriculture practices. In 2022, we continued our work to integrate a range of complementary soil remediation and restoration methods that work in alignment with nature and began researching the most efficient methods for the re-greening of desertified areas. 3) RAISING AWARENESS AND ACTION TOWARDS CONSTRUCTIVE ENVIRONMENTAL CHOICES: We conduct education programs that change the underlying cultural attitudes that throw people out of harmony with the natural world. The most fundamental concept that must be imbued into society to truly reverse worsening environmental situations is how ones own survival is interwoven with, and interdependent upon the health and survival of those life forms and things around one. Our trademarked term Cooperative Ecology and its abbreviation, CoEco, embrace this concept and we continue to create and publish educational materials, books and courses for schools and homeschools, as well as the general adult public, based on this principle. Demonstrably, the children who learn and apply even the most fundamental CoEco principles are far more cognizant of the world around them, have raised awareness of their impact on the environment, and they realize that those individuals and species who live most successfully are those who actively work to enhance the life and things around them upon which their own life depends.Our CoEco educational materials for children are getting rave reviews from parents and teachers.4) As a part of our wildlife conservation initiatives, we were able to provide access to much needed funding to two South African non-profits in support of their work. Ubunthu Wildlife Sanctuary rescues and protects primarily lions and other big cats (https://ubuntuwild.com/). Lawrence Anthony Earth Organization International worked this last year to restore wild habitat through alien invasive plant removal and education.Desc

STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:990 PROGRAMS BRIEFING FOR 2022 Despite the many unusual challenges presented by a world impacted by dramatic challenges, 2022 was a very productive year for our U.S. headquarters. With each of the environmental challenges we take on, we apply a 6-step process: 1) Identify an important environmental problem; 2) Research it in depth to truly pinpoint its source; 3) Using logic, common sense, and science-based methods, find and/or develop a solution that has no environmental tradeoffs and would work for all involved; 4) Implement the solution or get it into the hands of those who will; 5) Create educational materials and solution models for export, as appropriate; 6) Repeat steps 1 to 5. While each situation has its own set of challenges, by following the steps above, we are able to take on a wide variety of environmental issues with the end goal in mind of restoring ecosystems to enhance the health and future of all life. Our 3 main areas of focus in 2022 were: 1) RESOLVING WATER ISSUES, including clean water supply scarcities caused by severe drought, water contamination, and flawed water management practices that are threatening the health of habitats. Our primary focus, this year, was on the continued advancement of our Deep Seated Water Technology. Deep-seated water is high-quality groundwater that is typically sourced from deep aquifers that are located below the shallow aquifers normally tapped into with water wells. Our Deep Seated Water Technology (DSW Tech) is a systematic method utilizing advanced technologies for locating previously-hidden, near-surface access points to these abundant alternative water resources. In addition to being a highly advanced method of locating deep sources of water, DSW Tech includes additional methods that help to restore healthy habitat. Here are the key milestones our DSW science and tech experts achieved this year: A. We improved technical methods by which regional studies are performed to identify the most likely, near-surface areas for water exploration through several field studies in California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, United Arab Emirates, and Australia. This work helped landowners and regional governing bodies lower the risk and expense of drilling dry boreholes. B. Massive regions around the world have been undergoing severe drought. Individual landowners as well as regional planners are in desperate need of more effective water management strategies. In 2022, we conducted advanced regional and property studies over a total of 7.7 million acres to identify Deep-Seated Water sources. C. As the average reported success rate for most water well drilling operations is about 40%, our advancements in analysis techniques to enable far more precise well drilling operations is an enormous leap forward for the science of water location and drilling. Our work in 2022 included the continued development and integration of different GIS (Geospatial Information Systems) software programs, creating an ever-improving, advanced, one-of-kind proprietary process for identifying water exploration zones. We continue to formalize these processes into technical checklists to enable the training of others so that this does not become a lost technology. D. Of particular importance to a large region of the U.S. is a water location study we did regarding the largest aquifer in the country - the Ogalala. This enormous underground body of water lies beneath seven States and is being over drawn by the large-scale demand for agricultural production in the region. Without a new solution to the problem, the alarming reduction of this water resource portends a very negative impact on agricultural capacities in the near future. Our study, and the subsequent water well drilled exactly where we directed, showed that, with our technology, significant water resources can be found below the Ogalala that, if tapped into, would allow the Ogalala to recharge (refill) without denying water resources to the vitally important farming community. 2) RESTORING DYING LAND, SOIL AND HABITAT: Desertification is the process by which fertile land becomes desert, typically because of drought, deforestation, and/or unsustainable agriculture practices. In 2022, we continued our work to integrate a range of complementary soil remediation and restoration methods that work in alignment with nature and began researching the most efficient methods for the re-greening of desertified areas. 3) RAISING AWARENESS AND ACTION TOWARDS CONSTRUCTIVE ENVIRONMENTAL CHOICES: We conduct education programs that change the underlying cultural attitudes that throw people out of harmony with the natural world. The most fundamental concept that must be imbued into society to truly reverse worsening environmental situations is how ones own survival is interwoven with, and interdependent upon the health and survival of those life forms and things around one. Our trademarked term Cooperative Ecology and its abbreviation, CoEco, embrace this concept and we continue to create and publish educational materials, books and courses for schools and homeschools, as well as the general adult public, based on this principle. Demonstrably, the children who learn and apply even the most fundamental CoEco principles are far more cognizant of the world around them, have raised awareness of their impact on the environment, and they realize that those individuals and species who live most successfully are those who actively work to enhance the life and things around them upon which their own life depends.Our CoEco educational materials for children are getting rave reviews from parents and teachers.4) As a part of our wildlife conservation initiatives, we were able to provide access to much needed funding to two South African non-profits in support of their work. Ubunthu Wildlife Sanctuary rescues and protects primarily lions and other big cats (https://ubuntuwild.com/). Lawrence Anthony Earth Organization International worked this last year to restore wild habitat through alien invasive plant removal and education.
