In
acknowledgement of the value of every species on earth, HT1
offers a wide range of conservation services, which can be
carried out in the field or at local stations.
HT1
have worked on the culture of endangered plants in Ecuador,
Galapagos, South Africa or back here in Denmark, with some of
the work being done in situ and some in a laboratory, as with
vitro: meristem propagation. In a laboratory, a single leaf can
be cloned to produce 1000s of tiny plants that can be nursed
until they are strong enough to be re-introduced to their
natural environment.
HT1's
work includes :
Building local nurseries.
Propagation from seeds and cuttings.
Nursing the small plants until they can withstand the harsh
local climate.
Controlling invasive species.
Providing shade from trees.
Providing the natural pollinators.
Achieving a balanced outcome for the local people.
Our
work is not just with plants, but animals too: raising them in
protected environments, nursing the young till they are larger
and agile, and providing the needed food. Every single member
of the litter makes it to adulthood. Preserving the species is
just on side; the other side is to preserve the entire habitat.
HT1
have worked in both temperate and tropical areas, addressing
issues such as the encroachment of invasive species to the
sensitive issues of involvement of the locals, giving them both
understanding and income.
HT1 has been involved in the coral reefs of i.e. Sulawesi;
Indonesia. Changing the main income from dynamite fishing to
guiding divers, running green hotels and other nature friendly
businesses. On Galapagos, the job was to re-build the natural
flora via a new nursery and reclaiming the wild for the native
plants. In Ecuador, the wildlife had to be documented to show
the need for nature reserves.
Economical rich countries
are willing to help with this, if the project are well
documentation. Again, HT1 can
provide help. |
