Background
Many species have been perceived as endangered because of hunting, habitat loss and degradation, chemical and noise pollution, global climate change, unmonitored by-catches, poaching, accidents and disturbance.
Biodiversity is fundamental for life on Earth. We need to think of ways in which we can change our attitude and behaviour for their and our benefit. In the Whale of a Time Community people can connect with their creative nature and their roots in nature with the aim to increases their awareness to protect biodiversity of life on land, air and ocean.
Our primary objective is to empower individuals to create change within our society.
Our secondary objective is to influence governments and corporations via public demand giving rise to policy change. Whale of a Time is devoted to maintain freedom and respect for all life forms and to live in harmony with each other and the Earth's ecosystems.
Whale of a Time is working to raise awareness of environmental issues around the planet. We support native wildlife and global sustainable projects in the ocean and in the rainforest by raising awareness of endangered species, the importance of the establishment of Marine Reserves to ensure recovery of the ocean's ecosystem and by supporting Viva La Selva which is a project in conjunction with the TreeSource Foundation located in the Amazon working with indigenous people and buying land for the preservation of the rainforest.
Vision
Whale of a Time is based on a motivating spirit and nourishes a positively charged, healthy and creative community strengthened by social and environmental values.
In the Whale of a Time Community we aim to express ourselves creatively about our environment and enrich our culture with the spirit of nature, to achieve cultural change and build on a beautiful relationship with our environment.
Our creative message focuses on the beauty of life. We believe that only if we understand the true beauty we can appreciate what we have and have the will and passion to save it.
Learning while discovering, having fun and being creative enriches our experience about ourselves and others, gives understanding and meaning and helps to solve social and environmental problems. Being actively engaged and expressing one's passion creatively by focusing on healthy living and a caring relationship with Mother Earth can bring an environmentally conscious and positive change into our community.
