There are many things we are doing that are problematic - drinking water, watershed damage,
detrimental land changes, toxins in the air, water, food supply and general bioscape, food security.
In addition to natural calamities, the Institute will focus on «creeping» environmental hazards — including climate
change,
land degradation, degradation of the social environment, population displacement, and
changing resource availability and quality — which imperil communities in a more gradual but equally
detrimental and multifaceted way.
