We're so pleased with recent news that our friend, the accomplished publisher/editor Casey Walker has launched the eagerly-awaited "Institute For Inquiry", a new 501(c)(3) non-profit organization ready to transform the way news is delivered. The IFI focuses upon the stories and events that offers important information about current realities that are truly of the most vital significance -- but which, traditionally, have received the least understanding and investigation, let alone basic coverage. Using an innovative 'inquiry model' this new form of international, web-based journalism invites participation, dialogue, and awareness. The current inquiry, 'The Wireless Age', is now underway and your thoughts and remarks are welcome. And do preview the 'Soundscape Trailer', a compelling video piece on Bernie's work by Veritas Production's Weston Walker at http://www.instituteforinquiry.org/inquiries/soundscapes.php The entire effort is artful, worthwhile, and significant. Congratulations and our very best wishes go out to Casey and the IFI team.
NON PROFIT NEWS: The Murie Center, Workshops, & The Arctic Soundscape Project (I & II)
WE WERE HONORED... to have had The Murie Center (a non-profit, 501(c)3) as our non-profit fiscal sponsor for donations supporting The Arctic Soundscape Project/Phase I at the initial launch of that effort.
We greatly appreciate the contributions that friends, family, and fans of this work made to help that baseline study take place. For Phase II, to gather additional baseline samples and/or begin first comparative studies of changes over time, we hope to again engage the public in support.
We'll keep you posted on progress to send another team to the Arctic Refuge and revisit the research for added data and more understanding of the wilderness and wildlife conditions in that beautiful and fragile eco-system.
