Ahimsa Objectives

Research and development | Summary

Effective Restoration of Indigenous Ecosystems:

Efforts will be planned to regenerate wild populations of local indigenous, threatened, and endangered species and to re-colonize degraded areas of important watersheds.

With conservation management, spawning and nursery habitats along important watersheds, we hope to support larger populations of endangered species of salmon, trout, and steelhead.

Research and Development:

• To study the Salmonidae mating patterns.
• To identify the spawning and behavior differences among the species and the conditions that lead to successful spawning events.
• To manage an ongoing plant and animal research team.
• There are sixty-six species of salmon like fishes.

Ahimsa will seek to broaden relations with local conservation efforts and will seek to extensively collaborate with the community and local universities in research studies.

To Establish and Maintain a plant nursery and seed bank:
To Establish and Maintain a Hatchery/Spawning Nursery for Fish and
Amphibians:

• Ahimsa is currently seeking properties, specifically those which play an important role in
  
• the preservation of these natural habitats needed to sustain endangered species.
• Ahimsa International will protect the ancient redwood forests through stewardship and management priority programs along with grant and community efforts.
  
• Ahimsa ultimately seeks to strengthen coalition and conservation efforts to protect California’s pristine habitats for generations to come.
  

Please contact Ahimsa International for more information on how you can help save the Redwood Forests.

Summary:

The quality of the Pacific northwestern' forests diversity is tied intimately with this annual return of the salmon; because the fish when eaten by bears, birds of prey or other animals are left to rot in along the streams, beside the shore and among the forest trees. That decomposition of the fish is an important nutritive source since these discarded fish carcasses are providing sufficient nitrogen to allow trees to grow, in a healthy and enduring manner.
