| Desc | COOPERATIVE ECOLOGY EDUCATION PROGRAM: OUR SECOND IN A SERIES OF EDUCATIONAL MANUALS ON THE SUBJECT OF COOPERATIVE ECOLOGY WAS PUBLISHED, THIS TIME WITH AN ADDITIONAL COURSE FOR TEENAGERS, AND WAS PILOTED IN CRESCENTA VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL, LA CRESCENTA, CA. THE COURSE IS IN PREPARATION FOR ROLL OUT THROUGH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND HOME-SCHOOLS.

ALSO, OUR SENIOR EXECS WERE KEYNOTE SPEAKERS AT A VARIETY OF EVENTS, SUCH AS ROTARY AND OTHER PHILANTHROPIC CLUB MEETINGS AND WEBINARS TO FORWARD THE COECO MESSAGE, RAISING AWARENESS OF HUMANITY'S VITAL PARTNERSHIP FOR SURVIVAL WITH THE NATURAL WORLD. COECO EDUCATIONAL SAILING ADVENTURE FOR TEENS: WE CONDUCTED A 2-WEEK COECO SAILING SHIP ADVENTURE FOR TEENS ON THE CARIBBEAN ISLAND OF SAN ANDREAS TO HEIGHTEN THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTERDEPENDENCE OF ALL LIFE FORMS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THEIR DAILY CHOICES IN PROTECTING THE WORLD AROUND THEM. COOPERATIVE ECOLOGY SAFARI: WE CONDUCTED AN EDUCATIONAL ECO SAFARI TO SOUTH AFRICA TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE COECO CONCEPT AND TO SUPPORT THE CONSERVATION EFFORTS OF SEVERAL WILDLIFE PRESERVES THERE. RHINO ORPHANAGE -A TEAM OF TWO PEOPLE FROM THE U.S. WERE SENT ON A MISSION TO OUR RHINO ORPHANAGE IN SOUTH AFRICA TO RELOCATE STAFF AND ANIMALS TO SAFETY AFTER A SERIOUS POACHING INCIDENT.
