Founded in 1972 by Neal Pargman and partnered by Edward J.Scott, the Save the Earth Foundation functions as a non-profit corporation dedicated to the expansion of environmental awareness in today's society. It embraces overall objectives which include enhancing the quality of our global environment for the benefit of all people and promoting a better understanding of the effects our society has on the long term health of our planet. The foundation's first environmental grant in 1989 co-sponsored a series of three workshops on global climate change at the University of California at Davis. Since 1989, with the ongoing support of concerned individuals the Save the Earth Foundation has granted research funding to numerous colleges and universities. ==Research programs== The Save the Earth Foundation's research endeavors center on the selection and funding of environmentally beneficial programs within institutions of higher education. In order to achieve its objectives the foundation is committed to the continued support of vital research programs including: * Funding of the postdoctoral research project on the Davidson Seamount in the Pacific Ocean which successfully resulted in the addition of the Seamount to the boundaries of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. There will now be protection for the ancient corals as well as newly discovered rare species (NOAA has identified 13 species new to science so far). * Seminars and workshops to coordinate and concentrate the research potential of associated campuses such as those held in 1989 at UC Davis to merge the efforts of all nine University of California campuses and their affiliated national laboratories. * Research focusing on the consequences of global warming through large-scale modeling like the investigation under way at Duke University in their unique Phytotron Project. * Efforts to evaluate the current state of our planet's atmosphere, similar to the endeavors of scientists within the Climate Center at Columbia University. * Studies centering on the psychological ramifications of our deteriorating environment, analogous to the research currently underway at UCLA's Center for the Study of the Environment and Society where their efforts focus on interactions between the environment and social processes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Save the Earth Foundation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
