[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],What is Bioneers? An educational nonprofit that strengthens and expands networks of practical visionaries working on behalf of the environment and people. We spread solutions-oriented stories — including both ecological models and social strategies — for restoring the earth. Background & History Founded by Kenny Ausubel in 1990, Bioneers was conceived to conduct educational and economic development programs in the conservation of biological and cultural diversity, traditional farming practices, and environmental restoration. Our vision of environment encompasses the natural landscape, cultivated landscape, biodiversity, cultural diversity, watersheds, community economics, and spirituality. Bioneers seeks to unite nature, culture and spirit in an Earth-honoring vision, and create economic models founded in social justice. Restoration addresses the premise that "sustainability" is problematic in the context of an environment that is already depleted. As Paul Hawken has noted, sustainability is simply the midpoint between destruction and restoration. The goal of Bioneers is restoration, addressing the interdependent array of economics, jobs, ecologies, cultures, and communities. WHO AM I? WHAT DO I VALUE? WHAT IS MY WORLD VIEW? HOW DO I LEARN? HOW DO THEY CONNECT? Bioneers conducts public education designed to engage people through conferences, workshops, the media and by creating model projects. One of Canada’s (and the world’s) living treasures, is a scientist, world-famous environmentalist, and legendary broadcaster whose television appearances include CBS’ Planet for the Taking, the PBS eight-part series The Secret of Life , and The Nature of Things . He is the most successful and beloved figure in the history of environmental TV programming, is the author of 32 books, including 11 for children, and is professor emeritus at the Sustainable Development Research Institute at the University of British Columbia.
