Through environmental education, forest conservation and community development Cloud Forest Institute (CFI) encourages communities to regain balance within ecological systems. Cloud Forest Institute worked with Ecuadorian Foundations and student volunteers to accomplish Earthquake relief efforts in July and August 2016. We partnered with the Ecuadorian non profit CAEMBA to build bamboo homes for victims whose homes collapsed. Longterm efforts focus on promoting a sustainable redevelopment strategy that addresses local food, water and shelter security by stabilizing deforested slopes with food forests including native, sustainable building materials. Hundreds of people living on the coast of Ecuador were served. 4848 4248 CFI sponsors the campaign to raise funds to rebuild the Himalayan English Boarding School that was demolished by earthquakes shortly after it opened in 2014. The boarding school serves up to 200 children, some of them orphans. It will help stem the tide of language and cultural extinction of the Sherpa people of Tibetan descent living in the Himalayan region of Nepal. The only school located in rural Lukla it gives parents in the region the option of keeping the children home rather then sending them away to boarding schools in Kathmandu where they assimilate into modern western culture and lose their local language, customs, and family connections. The Himalayan English Boarding School will help prevent the Sherpa language from disappearing by the end of this generation as predicted. 88700 13009 The Noyo Headlands Unified Design Group endeavors to foster the planning and implementation of an integrative and viable natural restoration of the Georgia Pacific mill site in Fort Bragg, California.
