MADISON, WI - March 4, 2000 - Ecological Enterprises, Inc. has publicly
unveiled its new climate change news and information source, entitled
"Climate Ark," at http://www.ClimateArk.org/. The site is a first of its
kind climate change search engine. Those interested in climate change
research and activist activities can carry out full text searches
through an extensive list of reviewed internet content. Climate Ark
searches allow you to explore the entire content of hundreds of
different environmental sites, including Climate Ark's own archive of
non-durable Internet information relating to Climate Change, at the same
time.
Sites have carefully been chosen for inclusion. Each of the climate
change sites indexed was chosen based on their usefulness to citizen
environmentalists. Rather than getting millions of hits of various worth
and quality when you search on a major search engine, the Climate Ark
search results provide thousands of highly pertinent hits--the best that
the internet has to offer on the topic. You can extensively customize
your search, and instantly jump to the pages that meet your search
criteria.
Glen Barry of Ecological Enterprises conceived and designed the idea of
a limited search space for the critical issue of climate change. The
intent is to contribute to making known the seriousness of Climate
Change, and aid in finding solutions. "Cumulative access to the combined
climate change research and advocacy materials on the Internet can help
policy makers and citizens acknowledge that climate change is for real,
and begin organizing policy responses in the realm of energy
conservation, alternatives, and ending deforestation," he said.
Environmental organizations are asked to link this important resource,
use it for their work, and provide useful additions. The service is
free.
Ecological Enterprises, Inc. is a consulting company specializing in
applying information technologies to conservation and environmental
issues, and incubating new projects to do so. It was founded several
years ago by Glen Barry, and is run by students at the University of
Wisconsin, Madison. The Climate Ark site represents research being
carried out by Mr. Barry at the University of Wisconsin for his PhD.
Climate Ark is being presented free of charge as a public service of
Ecological Enterprises, Inc.
