Ecological Stories

The Phoenix, the Selkie and the Stoat is a fantasy novel in which many of the characters are shape-shifters. It is set on the fictional island of Muuntosaari ('transformation island') in the Finnish archipelago. One Phoenix (Tulikukka) has died, and her daughter - Tulikki - is learning to become the new Phoenix. Tulikki's other mother - Jill - is a stoat/human shape-shifter who came from the mainland. The father - Nestori - is a Selkie (a seal-human shape shifter). The characters work through their grief by tending their environment and their relationships with other people. There are two forests in the story: the sacred grove and the lonely forest. The former is an ancient forest where fallen trees nurture the soil and feed animal, fungal and other life forms. The lonely forest is an intensively planted spruce forest. The novel ends with a celebration of the revitalization of the lonely forest.

In the Saṃskṛta play Nāgānanda, attributed to Harṣa, the hero Jīmūtavāhana sacrifices himself to save a cobra who is the designated meal of the great eagle, Garuḍa, for that day. Overwhelmed by Jīmūtavāhana's sublime magnanimity, Garuḍa grants his plea to give up eating cobras, which are part of his natural staple diet. My story relates Jīmūtavāhana's misguided interference in the food chain to his earlier thoughtless use of his magical wishing-tree (kalpa-vṛkṣa) to rain gold all over the world for the benefit of poor people. Just as the sudden devaluation of gold currency would be disastrous for poor people in the real world, adding economic inflation to their existing deprivations, convincing Garuḍa to stop eating cobras would shift the burden of his hunger and their expansion onto other species. Proverbially, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Cover Credit: @PriyaArshiSarun

Global Greening and Regreening is the process of restoring natural ecosystems and increasing green spaces on our planet. This includes reforestation or afforestation, expanding vegetation in cities, and other measures to increase green space in rural areas. Global greening is important for a number of reasons, including because it creates habitat for wildlife, reduces air and water pollution, and mitigates the effects of climate change. The Global Greening Project and future organization was founded many years ago as the main project of the Greening Deserts and Trillion Trees Initiative. The founder published many articles, innovative ideas and papers about the regreening and reforestation movement. GlobalGreening.org is and will be the main platform in the future, also for the development organization. The project is linked to Greening Deserts developments such as the global Greening Camps. It has long been a private initiative as part of the Trillion Trees Project. The Global Greening Institution wants to build an additional platform for Southern Europe and Africa, including the Drought Research Institute with its online platform DroughtResearch.com. With real active and financial support, the Global Greening Institute will also build a real building with the first nations that will really support us this year and have supported us in the first days - the Greening Campus and Institute can be built at any major Greening Camp still in the first year! All the organizations that have supported us financially will also be the main partners or sponsors, depending on the form and amount of support they have provided. They will make world history (or not) and some have even already made it, because historical archives, libraries and universities have stored a lot of background and information sent to them.

Fairy tales for all generations, who have lost none of their earlier traditions, but are also ready to face the modern world and protect it. They protect the constantly oppressed good, the much-needed hope, but also the endangered nature. They give testimony to animals, mountain massifs, but also planets that cannot speak in the normal world. They try to calm themselves and learn to love, as an exceptional cactus has learned to do. They give hope to become better individuals, which became the parents of pampered Brat or Mr. Novak, who has learned to appreciate old and (un)needed things. And last but not least, they show that happiness and love are always there, and there is no need to look for them in distant lands like. Where some see deep wisdom, others see simple lessons or fun.

The year is 2081. Earth teeters on the edge of civil and environmental collapse as the Liberal Atlantic Republics and Eastern Pact fight over resources to perfect tactical artificial intelligence. In her twenty short years, Hitomi Sullivan has been many things: Cargo brat, C student, LAR fighter pilot, survivor. Her job running ore shipments from Mars through enemy blockades has barely kept her family afloat while driving her to the edge of nervous breakdown after nervous breakdown. It's only a matter of time before she either blows up or burns out. On what should be a routine run, the cargo ship Hitomi is escorting makes a critical error, bringing them both under fire and crashing to the decimated No Man's Land on Earth. Forced to rely upon each other to survive, Hitomi and the cargo pilot, Gunnar Diaz, make the long trek through a collapsed North America and towards Gunnar's destination, the opulent LAR capital city of Summerland.

After an unknown disaster on earth, segments of the human population were launched through space in massive transport ships toward any and all potential homeworlds. This Sci-Fi short series follows the waking population of the Archimedes transport ship in their struggle to subdue the forested planet known as Kepler 5-48v. When humanity landed on K5-48V they bore the environmental responsibility of all migrating populations throughout history. But will they break the disastrous trends of their ancestors or doom their new homeworld and future generations. *I don't own the images used*
