IHTEC - Creature Corridors

Creature Corridors


You are invited to take part in the Creature Corridors especially if your school is near a walking trail with a trail organization.  The creature corridors has a focus on planting food sources that will support all species especially those that are migrating.

We suggested that schools plant their International School Peace Gardens first and then dedicate their actions in the Creature Corridors in the garden.

Sustainable Tourism Development

Sustainable Tourism Development of all walking trails is essential for economic development locally, nationally and globally. Trail development requires a strict policy structure of maintenance which will then encourage return visits by intra-state and overseas visitors. For economic sustainability the need for eco-sensitive intermittent facilities along trails is vital. Creature Corridors can be developed along old railways and roads, prior to government policy changes.  This is a preventative method for the shared global commons prior to implementation of high speed trains.

Planetary creature loss requires a method of prevention and protection for migratory creatures. By involving professionals in the areas of urban planning, environmental studies, recreational and "peace through tourism" organizations, correct standards and procedures can be developed. Creature Corridors encourages the replanting of thickets with food supply, using a Life Zone approach.

The program can also involve students in a maths and science system of planetary substance accounting for educational purposes, with results being sent to appropriate government sources.
