FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Black River Foundation is Established
New Project Launched in New Brunswick, Canada.
May 29th, 2008 --
Black River Limited Foundation formed in Nevis, St Kitss and Nevis under the
Nevis Multiform Foundation Ordinance was formed as an irrevocable foundation for
an indefinite period. Previously known as the St. Jude's Foundation; it
subsequently changed its name to The Black River Foundation in recognition of
the purchase of a 189 acre parcel of land and forest near Black River in New
Brunswick. This is the first purchase of land and forest commensurate with
certain of its registered purposes of preserving the worldwide forests,
promoting their sustainable use and fostering related scientific research to
preserve forest and their related ecosystems in a sustainable manner and also
creating or raising an initial fund each year in order to purchase or assist in
the purchase of further forest and land and to fund the conservation, recovery
and sustainable management projects for these forests with a view to helping to
reduce the future possible problems associated with global warming and the
destruction of ecosystems.
Further the Black River Foundation is pleased to
announce that it is currently actively supporting Sandwatch (www.sandwatch.org)
that seeks to modify the lifestyle and habits of children, youth and adults on a
community-wide basis and to develop awareness of the fragile nature of the
marine and coastal environment and the need to use it wisely. It is an
educational process through which school students and community members learn
and work together to critically evaluate the problems and conflicts facing their
beach environments and to develop sustainable approaches to address these
issues. With a strong field monitoring component, Sandwatch tries to make
science 'live' yet remains inter-disciplinary with applications ranging from
biology to woodwork and from poetry to mathematics
