THROUGH WIDE DISTRIBUTION TO KEY INDUSTRY LEADERS, OUR PEER-REVIEWED RESEARCH PAPERS ON THIS SUBJECT HAVE PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE IN ADVANCING UNDERSTANDING OF NON-TOXIC AND EFFECTIVE CLEANUP SYSTEMS. OUR EFFORTS HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY CONTRIBUTED TO MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGY BEING USED IN OVER 40 COUNTRIES. WE PROVIDED PUBLIC RELATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS ASSISTANCE TO INDUSTRY LEADERS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO MAJOR PETROLEUM-RELATED COMPANIES AGREEING TO USE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE TOXIC SPILL CLEANUP SYSTEMS. THIS IS HELPING TO BRING THE OIL SPILL CLEANUP INDUSTRY UP TO 21ST CENTURY STANDARDS. IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 WE WERE INVITED TO PRESENT VITAL DATA TO OIL SPILL RESPONSE SCIENTISTS, REGULATORS AND INDUSTRY MEMBERS AT THE CLEAN GULF CONFERENCE HELD IN TAMPA, FLORIDA. OUR SCIENCE AND TECH COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN PRESENTED ON AN EXTENSIVE SCIENTIFIC REVIEW DONE OF THE ALTERNATIVE OIL SPILL SOLUTION WE HAVE ADVOCATED FOR. HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL SPILLS ARE A GLOBAL ISSUE, KILLING OUR OCEANS, RIVERS, LAKES AND STREAMS AND WE CONTINUE TO PRESS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF BETTER SCIENCE IN THE U.S. ALSO A PART OF OUR OVERALL CLEAN WATERS PROGRAM IN 2016, WE RESEARCHED INTO A SCIENCE OF WATER DEVELOPED IN THE 1930'S THAT GIVES DROUGHT-PRONE REGIONS ACCESS TO ADEQUATE SUPPLIES OF FRESH WATER. WE ARE NOW WORKING WITH EXPERTS IN THIS FIELD, BUILDING A COALITION, AND DEVELOPING PROJECTS IN THE U.S., SOUTH AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST, TO MAKE THIS SCIENCE BETTER KNOWN AND UTILIZED IN AREAS HEAVILY IMPACTED BY WATER SCARCITY. IN PREPARATION FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF OUR WATER PROJECT, WE SENT TWO OF OUR STAFF TO TANZANIA FOR A MONTH TO STUDY AND HELP FORWARD THE WORK OF SIMILAR SUCCESSFUL WATER DRILLING PROJECTS BY ANOTHER NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION. 47974 WILDLIFE CONSERVATION/WILDLIFE IN ZONES OF CONFLICT IN 2016, WE AIDED THE LAWRENCE ANTHONY EARTH ORGANIZATION'S SOUTH AFRICAN CHAPTER WITH PUBLIC RELATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS TO PROMOTE AND SUPPORT THE CREATION OF A 36,000 ACRE WILDLIFE PRESERVE AND COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM, CALLED MAYEBUYE, THAT THEY FOUNDED IN 50/50 PARTNERSHIP WITH A LOCAL ZULU TRIBE. IN 2016, THE PROJECT WAS NAMED A "MODEL PROGRAM FOR WILDLIFE CONSERVATION AND ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT" BY THE SOUTH AFRICAN PRESIDENT'S COUNCIL AND HAS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF: 1) BRINGING NEW JOBS INTO THE AREA, POSITIVELY IMPACTING THE LOCAL ECONOMY, 2) EDUCATING THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE ON THE VALUE OF THEIR WILDLIFE ALIVE, TO HELP MOVE THEM AWAY FROM AN INDUSTRY OF POACHING TO AN INDUSTRY OF ECO TOURISM, 3) BRINGING IN SPORTS EQUIPMENT AND GAMES FOR THE YOUTH TO HELP CREATE MORE OF A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND 4) RAISING AWARENESS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF RECYCLING AND BRINGING IN RECYCLING BINS TO THE LOCAL SCHOOLS. ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE PROVIDED PUBLIC RELATIONS SUPPORT TO THE SOUTH AFRICAN CHAPTER'S BABY RHINO REHAB FACILITY CALLED FUNDIMVELO THULA THULA RHINO ORPHANAGE. WITH RAMPANT POACHING ENDANGERING ENTIRE RHINO POPULATIONS, EACH BABY RHINO IS VITALLY IMPORTANT TO THE OVERALL SURVIVAL OF THE SPECIES. THE FACILITY WE ARE HELPING THERE HAS THE HIGHEST SUCCESS RATE OF RESCUING, REHABILITATING, AND RE-RELEASING RHINOS BACK INTO THE WILD. WE USED OUR PUBLIC RELATIONS AND PROMOTION SKILLS TO HELP BRING MORE ATTENTION TO THE PLIGHT OF THE RHINOS, AND ADDITIONALLY BROUGHT 15 PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO THE FACILITY TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE SITUATION. 45547 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM: IN 2016, WE CREATED SEVERAL EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS IN THE FORMAT OF ON LINE PUBLICATIONS, HARD COPY PUBLICATIONS, AND HIGH-QUALITY VIDEOS, TO FORWARD OUR WORK IN RAISING AWARENESS OF THE VITAL PARTNERSHIP FOR SURVIVAL THAT HUMANITY HAS WITH THE NATURAL WORLD. WE CONDUCTED WORKSHOPS, AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE, AND TWO EDUCATIONAL ECO SAFARIS TO SOUTH AFRICA AS A PART OF OUR CAMPAIGN. TO PRESENT WHAT WE NAMED "COOPERATIVE ECOLOGY" (OR COECO), WE LAUNCHED A NEW WEBSITE AND A WORLD-WIDE CAMPAIGN THROUGH 3 WEBINARS, AND THROUGH OUR 21 INTERNATIONAL AFFILIATED CHAPTERS TO BROADLY DISTRIBUTE OUR FIRST THREE PUBLICATIONS IN OUR DEVELOPING SERIES OF COECO EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS. ADDITIONALLY, WE REACHED OUT TO OVER 80 TV STATIONS ACROSS THE U.S. TO CARRY OUR NEWLY CREATED 30 AND 60-SECOND PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS. FURTHERMORE, WE CONDUCTED OVER 50 COOPERATIVE ECOLOGY BRIEFINGS TO INDUSTRY LEADERS, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, COMMUNITIES AND INDIVIDUALS ABOUT HOW ALL LIFE DOES BEST WHEN IT WORKS COOPERATIVELY WITH OTHER LIFE. 59738 EXPENDITURES RELATING TO MULITPLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS. 59738 222659 true true 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 false false false true 15 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 33458 0 0 ROBERTA PERRY SECRETARY X 0 0 0 RAY MCKAY CHAIRMAN X 0 0 0 STAN GERSON DIRECTOR X 0 0 0 MARLA MARTINEZ DIRECTOR X 0 0 0 JOY TESSMAN DIRECTOR X X 0 0 0 33458 false false false 7908 391123 399031 399031 X 33458 16729 16729 52149 46934 3477 1738 34471 3585 30886 75681 74092 1589 34806 26104 8702 77642 21743 55899 3302 3137 165 27602 20701 6901 2541 1906 635 2185 2185 3121 3121 76 76 BANK CHARGES 4296 4081 215 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 1539 1462 77 352869 222659 119770 10440 4508 11779 230 559 1677 9108 6415 21446 1104 30000 27 31131 0 X -24716 21446 -24716 21446 6415 21446 46162 X false false false X 35677 82831 88823 321543 399031 927905 35677 82831 88823 321543 399031 927905 614749 313156 8500 8500 936405 0.33440 0.87500 X PART II, LINE 10 OTHER INCOME 8,500 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 9108 C 9108 FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A CLEANUP SYSTEMS.
