Bioneers: Committed to Restoration

Kenny Ausubel founded BIONEERS in 1990 to build needed Bioneers infrastructure to support restoration efforts - In their words,"conservation of biological and cultural diversity, traditional farming practices, and environmental restoration." Bioneers are a mix of cultural creatives, and activists for restoration in ecology and social justice. The Great Lakes Bioneers Conference is a satellite program coming out of the main Bioneers conference in California.

Restoration as a New Model

Through out the year Bioneers continue the work in the model of nature in an array of professions dedicated to restoration. Bioneers recognize that a period of restoration is needed in this century to ease the suffering of the human condition.As the headwaters explains, "Bioneers are scientists and artists, gardeners and economists, activists and public servants, architects and ecologists, farmers and journalists, priests and shamans, policymakers and citizens. They are everyday people committed to preserving and supporting the future of life on Earth." Bioneers, they say, "herald a dawning Age of Restoration founded in natural principles of kinship, interdependence, cooperation, reciprocity, and community."
