Adaptability Project : A Gaian Perspective
The project begins with Euglena's systems sciences approach to understanding nature and addressing these problems. By using the newest illuminations of system sciences from a Gaian perspective, we can begin to understand Gaia, the elegant and intricate living system of which we are a part. Leveraging that knowledge, we can turn our attention to healing Gaia's ailing metabolism - essential to our survival - and create a more livable future.
"Through Gaia as metaphor, it is possible to glimpse the organic unity of the Earth & be awed by our own existence within this rich, complex, & wondrous whole. And in both its scientific & metaphoric aspects, this new view of the Earth provides the foundation for a new cultural map that can guide us in the planetary era."Diane Dumanoski, The End of the Long Summer: Why We Must Remake Our Civilization to Survive on a Volatile Earth
