reducing the scope and severity of three major global environmental
problems:

Dramatic changes to the Earth?s climate brought about by the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the planet?s atmosphere;

The erosion of large wilderness ecosystems that contain a great part of the world?s remaining biodiversity; and,

The destruction of the world?s marine environment, with a particular emphasis on global fisheries.

pending its success, board approval and additional funding.
