The focus of Camp Internet 1997 is Sustainable Habitats. Last year, in Istanbul, Turkey, the United Nations held a World Conference called Habitat II. It's purpose was to study and make recommendations on human habitat. The earths environment, cities and how we can build sustainable, new settlements as world population continues to grow. The RAIN-Habitat Project is your online, global classroom, with environment, sustainable habitats, and the future, as your focus. What ideas and examples of sustainable Habitats will you find here. Intentional and sustainable communities like Findhorn and the Farm, among others, will give you new ideas.
We will go from there to a study of gardens, environment and sustainability right in your own Community and Neighborhood.

To start off we want to get an idea of how you would define the word Habitat.

From my point of view Habitat means the environment within which something lives. I even see the Internet as a Habitat, containing all the ideas and messages of people around the world. A 'one-world habitat', fragile and with limited resources that we could easily deplete, just like the Great Forests. We'll get into that later.

In Camp we will study with scientists and researchers at the Channel Islands Natinal Marine Sanctuary, we'll visit with Keepers at the Santa Barbara Zoo and look at how the Zoo's new Great Ape Habitit has been designed. We will go, via Internet video (cu-see-me), into the Great Ape Habitat and we'll explore around the Islands in the Santa Barbara Channel via live Internet video.
