...be, do, have
Welcome to CARES – where we champion the preservation of our world’s diverse cultural heritages and the sustainability of our precious environment.
Our mission is to create a convergence point for advocates of sustainable development, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration to safeguard the foundations of our collective cultural, climatic, and civil constitutions.
What we think about
Our catchphrase, “…be, do, have,” say it all. We believe that people everywhere owe themselves the natural and inalienable right to be themselves by maintaining the integrity of their natural and cultural environments and collective identity which make them distinct from other people as may be seen in their arts, literature, native intelligence, traditional medicine, religion, festivals, or science. They also owe it to themselves and the rest of the world to preserve these constitutive aspects of their unique existence by doing all within their capacity to preserve these diverse aspects of life and living for the present and next generation. That way, they can have the material, intellectual and utilitarian payoffs resulting from their awareness and pursuit of collective self-preservation. We can have a world that can be passed on to a next generation as our civilization progress despite and because of emergent human and technological advancements.
CARES Vision
The CARES vision is to promote an accommodation and sustainability of a world made imperfect by threats to the foundations of its collective cultural, climatic and civil constitutions.
