THE FOLLOWING PROGRESS WAS MADE: "RESEARCH PROJECT COMPLETED DETERMINING THE EXACT AND MOST RELIABLE METHODS AND GEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS APPROACHES THAT CAN BE UTILIZED TO IMPLEMENT WATER SOLUTIONS FOR REFORESTATION AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION. LAEO HAS IDENTIFIED KEY AREAS WHERE WATER SCARCITIES ARE CREATING DANGEROUS LOSS OF HABITATS, THREATENING WILDLIFE SPECIES. "RESEARCH PROJECTS LAUNCHED TO DETERMINE VIABLE MODELS FOR IMPLEMENTING WATER SOLUTIONS TECHNOLOGIES IN THESE KEY REGIONS. COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER FOR-PROFIT AND NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTING WATER SOLUTIONS WERE SET UP IN SEVERAL COUNTRIES IN PREPARATION FOR THE FULL LAUNCH OF THIS CAMPAIGN. 9656 OIL SPILL CLEAN UPS AND NON TOXIC SOLUTIONS: "WE COMPLETED A FORMAL, COST COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN ENZYMATIC BIOREMEDIATION OIL SPILL RESPONSE AND PUBLISHED AND DISTRIBUTED OUR FINDINGS TO OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY MEMBERS AND INDUSTRY INSURANCE COMPANIES. THIS RESULTED IN GREATER ACCEPTANCE AND ADOPTION OF MORE EFFECTIVE OIL SPILL RESPONSE TECHNOLOGY IN THE OIL SPILL RESPONSE INDUSTRY BY MARINE AND SHIPPING OPERATORS, OIL RIG AND REFINERY OPERATORS. THIS HAS RESULTED IN REPLACING HARMFUL CHEMICALS WITH NON-TOXIC OIL SPILL CLEAN UP TECHNOLOGY ON INDUSTRY SITES AND IN OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS. WE HELPED TO EXPAND ADOPTION OF NON-TOXIC SPILL CLEANUP METHODS IN SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICAN COUNTRIES (COLUMBIA AND PANAMA) WHERE LARGE-SCALE CLEANUP PROJECTS ARE UNDER WAY. WE ALSO EFFECTED BROADER ADOPTION OF NON-TOXIC CLEANUP IN THE U.S., NIGERIA, AND MIDDLE EASTERN AND ASIAN REGIONS BY MAJOR INDUSTRY MEMBERS. "LAEO'S SCIENCE AND TECH ADVISORY BOARD INITIATED THE ACTIONS TO BRING ABOUT A UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA FAIRBANKS AND NOAA U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCY COLLABORATION FORMED FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONDUCTING A SCIENTIFIC STUDY ON ENZYMATIC BIOREMEDIATION TECHNOLOGY. THE TWO-YEAR STUDY WAS STARTED IN 2017 AS PART OF A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF OIL SPILL CLEAN UP METHODS FOR ARCTIC SPILLS-COMPARING NON-TOXIC ENZYMATIC BIOREMEDIATION TECHNOLOGY TO TOXIC CHEMICAL DISPERSANTS. RESULT: REINFORCED CREDIBILITY AND VISIBILITY OF ENVIRONMENTALLY VIABLE AND NATURE-FRIENDLY OIL SPILL RESPONSE SOLUTIONS SUPPORTING INDUSTRY REFORMS. "LAEO COLLABORATED WITH ITS CANADIAN ALLIANCE TO PRODUCE OIL SPILL RESPONSE TECHNOLOGY ARTICLES, WHICH RESULTED IN OUR INFORMATION BEING PUBLISHED IN WORLD PIPELINE MAGAZINE AND DISTRIBUTED TO ALTERNATIVE MEDIA SOURCES AND CANADIAN OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY MEMBERS. "LAEO'S SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR ENZYMATIC BIOREMEDIATION STUDIES WAS VERY ACTIVE AS PART OF OIL SPILL RESPONSE REFORM WORK, THESE RELATIONSHIPS WERE MAINTAINED WITH SEVERAL PEER REVIEW PROJECTS AND THE PLANNING FOR A FORMAL, SCIENTIFIC BIOREMEDIATION WORKSHOP WAS COMPLETED. "CANADIAN SCIENCE AND TECH ADVISORY FOR OIL SPILL RESPONSE PROJECT MANAGEMENT. SEVERAL INDUSTRY CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS BY LAEO REPS AND ALLIANCE PARTNERS WERE CONDUCTED, AND INCLUDED GOVERNMENT RELATIONS MANAGEMENT TO IMPLEMENT LAEO OIL SPILL RESPONSE REFORMS. 78902 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. ADDITIONALLY, PRESS RELEASES, BLOGS AND ARTICLES WERE USED TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE COOPERATIVE ECOLOGY CONCEPT UTILIZING OUR WEBSITE, SOCIAL MEDIA, ALTERNATIVE MEDIA, AND OTHER AVENUES. 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. WE RAISED MONEY AND SUPPLIES FOR SUPPORT OF THE ORPHANAGE THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT TIME. RESCUE AND RELOCATION OF WILDLIFE IN INHUMANE CONDITIONS: WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THROUGH FUNDRAISING, PUBLIC RELATIONS, AND PROMOTION THE RESCUE AND RELOCATION PROJECTS OF LAEO'S UKRAINE CHAPTER. THIS PAST YEAR THEY RESCUED SEVERAL BEARS FOUND IN HORRIBLE CONDITIONS BY 1) BRINGING IN VETERINARIANS TO HANDLE HEALTH ISSUES, 2) REBUILDING THEIR CURRENT ENCLOSURES OR REMOVING THEM TO NEW ENCLOSURES THAT WERE FAR MORE COMFORTABLE UNTIL 3) THEY COULD RELOCATE THEM TO SANCTUARIES WITH NATURAL HABITAT AND HUMANE CONDITIONS. 32724 EXPENDITURES RELATING TO MULITPLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS. 32724 139689 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 6 5 false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false true true false X MARLA MARTINEZ 8183141319 305 S KENNETH RD BURBANK CA 91501 BARBARA WISEMAN TREASURER 50.00 X 8623 0 0 ROBERTA PERRY SECRETARY X 0 0 0 RAY MCKAY CHAIRMAN X 0 0 0 STAN GERSON DIRECTOR X 0 0 0 BILL BUTLER DIRECTOR X 0 0 0 MARLA MARTINEZ DIRECTOR X 0 0 0 8623 false false false 8408 134610 143018 466 176 290 290 CASH REWARDS 948 948 948 144256 1238 X 8623 4312 4311 20995 16480 3010 1505 12620 505 12115 27893 24993 2865 35 9109 5035 4074 9578 9276 302 120 108 12 20778 18700 2078 54444 54444 5659 5659 177 177 169996 139689 24693 5614 11779 8920 1000 559 865 9108 21446 10785 15046 33 0 15079 X 21446 -4294 21446 -4294 21446 10785 -25740 X false false X 82831 88823 321543 399031 143018 1035246 82831 88823 321543 399031 143018 1035246 612574 422672 8500 1414 9914 1045160 0.40440 0.33440 X PART II, LINE 10 OTHER INCOME 8,500 SALES TAX PAYABLE 33 33 FORM 990 LIST OF ORGANIZATION'S CURRENT DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, TRUSTEES REGARDLESS OF COMPENSATION.
