Ecology

Cooperation with Nature

T amera is becoming a Healing Biotope for plants, animals and human beings. Since the start of Tamera, the ecology team has planted nearly 20,000 trees and created many ponds. Food biotopes, evergreen oases, "Edible landscapes", forest gardens, wet biotopes and lakes are all in various states of development.

T he team strives towards cooperation with nature and learns from the examples of the Findhorn community, of the German ecologist Eike Braunroth and his student Jürgen Paulick, of the Mexican Don José Carmen and of the Austrian "Agroforestry Rebel" Sepp Holzer.

I n a time where worldwide more and more wars are led due to decreasing resources, the terrain of Monte Cerro can become a model for the re-cultivation of ecologically destroyed regions. To be able to develop the right concepts for these large projects we need the support of further responsible experts. We are still seeking support particularly in the areas of vegetable cultivation, self-supply, permaculture in the garden and in landscape design and fire protection through the building up of vegetation.

“If a lake looks as if it has arisen naturally,

we have done it right.“ Sepp Holzer

The Water Landscape Project at Tamera aims to come in contact with the dream of the landscape and to address the question of healing regional desertification, while developing self-sufficiency in the area of food supply. Together with Sepp Holzer we have drafted a vision of an ecological model for the healing and revitalization of the landscape and the supply of food for several hundred people, including fruits, vegetables, herbs and medicinal plants.

Technology

Energy autonomy or self-sufficiency represents the most important generic term in the presently unfolding solar era. Regionally used energies, produced from selfsufficient resources, not only allow the liberation from heteronomy especially to the poorest and most sun-intensive areas of the world, but also serve the development of autonomous inter-linked structures right down to village level.

Juergen Kleinwaechter, physicist and inventor from Loerrach/Germany, has developed a variety of solar systems and components which he has assembled to form an integral, multi-functional overall system – the “Solar Power Village”. This system, a symbiosis for plant growth and solar energy production, is designed in such a way to be able to be constructed almost entirely in the user-countries.

Ecology and Technology Unite

Progress on the SolarPowerVillage Greenhouse consctruction is accelerating. Here one can see some images of the work on the SunRay Solar Collectors and the planting of the banana trees inside the greenhouse. One can also see the beautiful pond that enters the greenhouse on the north side and is surrounded by natural stone arranged by local masons. Pictured left to right: (Paul G, Thomas L, Irma K, Daphna Y, Martin B, Nicolas Y, Paul G)

Technology

The main objective of the TTT-Platform is to demonstrate that the technological knowledge for food and energy self-sufficient structures exists and is dynamically growing.

The TTT-Platform gathers together, interconnects and disseminates technological knowledge worldwide.

The TTT-Platform provides the creative playground for a “Free Lab“ to originate concepts for the future, for example in the areas of vortices, storage of light, the effect of fields on plants, and much more. The goal of all the research is the creation of self-sufficient, decentralized living structures adaptable to all climate zones of the world.

Training

The knowledge developed at the TTT-Platform will be shared in the context of the initiative for peace training of the “Global Campus“ under the supervision of Sabine Lichtenfels. Techniques to build sustainable social structures suitable for peace must be learned and practiced. The training consists on the one hand of learning peace-knowledge, in the context of a basic course while living together in community with people from many countries. On the other hand Solarpower Technology and other sustainable technologies will be learned in concrete terms, in order to be able to implement them in whatever place one wishes to work. This is a meaningful way to create work cycles and work places.

Undertaking the sponsorship of a project or a person, for example from Israel /Palestine or Columbia, will enable them to complete a basic course or internship in the Solarvillage.

Transfer

After completing a sound training, the goal is to bring the knowledge to the places where it is most needed. This will build a foundation of worldwide decentralized, sustainable systems. A network of training places, called the “Global Campus”, will be formed to pass on the basic knowledge for the building of selfsufficient systems.

A sponsorship could finance a co-worker to travel abroad with the goal of supporting the development of a subsistence economy (regional, self-sufficient economic areas) or to participate in developing technology and ecology.

The Tamera SolarVillage

and the Global Campus Vision

"You never change anything by fighting the existing. To change something, build a new model and make the existing obsolete." Buckminster Fuller

T amera is planning the development of a model village on a 5-hectare (12 acres) piece of land: the SolarVillage. A model applicable for all peace villages, it must link research into energy technology , architecture, ecology and social knowledge to produce practical and theoretical knowledge on sustainability and the greatest possible self-sufficiency.

T he planned S olar V illage lake where the village will be located will be linked to technological water experiments (for example, “Hot Lake“ or research into water currents). Together with all other areas of the emerging Tamera water landscape it will serve the purpose of ecological regeneration.

J ürgen Kleinwächter’s Solar Power Village Technology forms the technological energy core of the SolarVillage. This research station has the special characteristic that the technologies will be used, tested and constantly developed by the same group of people in a real life situation.

“In this way practical solutions will emerge that are suitable for the future while simultaneously improving the quality of life.“ -Jürgen Kleinwächter

T he first specific step is the creation of the TTT -Platform :

a center for technology, training and transfer.

The plan is to bring together forward-thinking people from many disciplines, especially research pioneers that do not get a hearing or are even oppressed in other places. Tamera is cooperating in the development of social and human knowledge based on its long-term community research. T he G lobal C ampus aims to bring together experts, visionaries, communities, researchers and students to both develop and apply an education program that can profoundly deepen the knowledge necessary for a positive global transformation towards peace.
