Pax Terra: Improving Models, Solving Social Problems

Never has environmental policy been more important to the world. Until now, attempts to implement new measures establishing international environmental and ecological solutions have been rendered ineffective by bureaucracy and red tape. Pax Terra offers a new model for sustainable ecotourism and ecosystem management that has the potential to change to the rules of the game.

Never has environmental policy been more important to the world. Until now, attempts to implement new measures establishing international environmental and ecological solutions have been rendered ineffective by bureaucracy and red tape. Pax Terra offers a new model for sustainable ecotourism and ecosystem management that has the potential to change to the rules of the game.

Thousands of conferences are held each year by the United Nations intended to specifically combat racism, support efforts to prevent global climate change and work to correct environmental and ecological policy. All too often these conferences burn through millions of dollars and basically change nothing. Pax Terra aims to change that.

Recently in Bonn, Germany, largely unnoticed by the news media, a climate conference sponsored by the UN was attended by more than 2600 delegates from 175 countries. Shortly before, in December 2008, a UN climate conference took place in Poznan, Poland. 11,000 delegates came together to work on climate issues in Nairobi, Kenya in 2006.

What do these frequent conferences really accomplish?

Just as the UN demonstrated efforts to combat racism--there were other recent, widely covered conferences known as Durban I and Durban II--which accomplished little beyond further damaging the UN's reputation by promoting an agenda supplied by countries with poor records on human rights, such as Iran, Libya, and Cuba. It's unfortunate this attitude also affects another policy, environmental policy, and further demonstrates the failure of the UN to help find solutions to ecosystem management issues.

These global climate conferences have influence only insofar as the delegates arrive by aircraft, which are a primary source of global CO2 emissions and then discuss how the global CO2 emissions could be reduced. Nevertheless, the conferences do have "a relevant impact," at least on the hotel and catering industry. Thousands of participants need housing for days and consume huge quantities of food.

Pax Terra has a better way

If the Pax Terra model were followed, there would be no place for large, ineffective, and wasteful international bureaucracies. Smaller, efficiently run, and quick to respond organizations would act to make a real difference in the world by taking action rather than issuing statements that are motivated by politics. They would be much more effective in promoting and implementing real solutions to serious problems.

On June 20, 2009 at Magdalena Bay, Baja California Mexico, Pax Terra will make a presentation that will demonstrate how it does its work. Here is a listing of some of the points that will be covered:

The Situation in Magdalena Bay

Foreign buyers pay local prices diminishing abundant local sea harvest
Foreign buyers demand more product, resulting in unsafe fishing conditions as sea harvest diminishes
Foreign buyers make loans that indebt local fishing industries as local debt increases
Local sea harvest drops below sustainable fishing harvest, local fisherman leave the area
Foreign buyers exchange loan debt for real properties and government confiscates the fisherman real property
Foreign developers put tourist condos on properties formerly owned by local fisherman
Foreign buyers build sea harvest farms in non-sustainable, over-fished sea harvest areas
Mexican nationals become commercial tourist service industry employees
