No one is doing the work Ecological Internet (EI) is of providing environmental portal services, action opportunities, analysis and social networking with a deep biocentric bias. We are nearly entirely supported by individual donations of various sizes (http://www.ecoearth.info/supporters/ ). Ecological Internet is a small band of social entrepreneurs (http://www.ecoearth.info/staff ) espousing ecological science in all its radical consequences on the Internet to help others and ourselves facilitate conservation outcomes. We have the largest environmental portals with true search engine and regularly contribute to and facilitate forest and climate environmental policy successes (http://www.ecoearth.info/kudos/ And we need your support now with a small donation at http://www.ecoearth.info/donate/ .
It does not take much to run the highly successful, comprehensive and widely used climate, rainforest, environmental and other portals provided by EI and listed below. A full-time content producer and writer that provides overall vision (me, Dr. Glen Barry), a quarter time programmer Matt Davies (we would love to have full-time but can not yet afford). We do everything from running our own servers, keeping them maintained and secure, as we run an email network of 25K and get about one million people to our websites a month — occasionally securing specialized outside technical consulting. Besides Matt and my salary costs to keep going include network band-width, replacement of aging computer equipment (not so much now), and eventually need to add staff in fund-raising, graphic design and content management.
