We look forward to hearing from you in the near future. May Peace Prevail on Earth! Alan Moore Musicians & Fine Artists for World Peace - Director and founder You can join for as little as $1. Get more info at Join and Info In 1993 a National Geographic magazine article proclaimed that a butterfly can with a flap of its wings, change the world and that the ripple it sends out can spawn a hurricane. Acting in the spirit the Butterfly Gardeners Association has become a catalyst for helping to co-create a culture of world peace and global harmony by working with children and adults at a very personal level. Our common and innate love for butterflies has resulted in the bringing together of thousands of individuals and organizations all working in concert for positive global change with a keen focus on the interconnectedness of children, butterflies and nonviolence. Through the development of innovative educational and community projects and by promoting events and festivals that inspire citizens to act at the local level, we are able to arouse consciousness to the need of conserving and creating natural habitats for not only butterflies, but for other wildlife as well and whose very existence depends on them. We are also exploring and researching the mystery of the butterfly's therapeutic, spiritual and cultural effects on humanity. Since butterflies also serve as environmental indicators, they are excellent ambassadors for raising environmental awareness. Our programs promote the installation of butterfly gardens, children's environmental education, reading and nonviolence programs. Being that butterflies have these innately inspirational and spiritual qualities, their effect on children, as well as adults and seniors, is nothing less than miraculous. We are working a U.S. cabinet level Department of Peace, whose goals include the creating of a national peace and nonviolence curriculum for school children and adults, programs to address the cycle of abuse and violence that threaten domestic and community environments, as well as finding new solutions to resolve international conflicts. We are also interested in working to increase funding for school art and music programs. Highlights over the last 11 years have included: Releasing butterflies at the Seventh Annual World Peace Festival with Pete Seeger in Amenia, New York for the World Peace Prayer Society Being invited to present the World Peace Candle to Kofi Annan at the United Nations Involving over 10,000 children in the San Francisco Bay Area to raise butterflies as an Earth Day project in 1999 Getting President Bill Clinton to proclaim January first an International Day of Peace Some of our goals include: 1) public education on the life cycle of butterflies, what we can do to reverse butterfly decline, and how to attract butterflies, hummingbirds & other wildlife to local gardens 2) teaching that the stewardship of butterflies is linked to such serious issues as the misuse and overuse of pesticides, global warming, ozone depletion, habitat and rainforest destruction, genetically engineered food production (which may impact human health) and have all been shown to have impacts on butterfly populations. In this sense, butterflies have become the foremost indicator species (the canary in the coal mine) for most of the world's environmental problems 3) to use people love of butterflies as a means to foster nonviolent behavior and both cultural and biodiversity in our targeted populations. Some of our objectives are to: 1) have 50,000 men, women and children annually attend our programs at schools, clubs, nursing homes and other institutions 2) get 1000 volunteers to plant butterfly gardens at homes, schools, parks and other locations and to help in our outreach 3) provide plant & source lists for establishing home or public butterfly gardens to 500 schools, 1000 homes and 100 public butterfly gardens and exhibits 4) partner with a minimum of 250 other groups and organizations that have similar goals and projects 5) have 1000 children in the Santa Rosa School District raise and release 1000 butterflies for the Health and Harmony Festival and participate in our Art for the Sky Project which will create a large butterfly and dove that will be photographed from an airplane over the festival, 6) have the members of MFAWP perform at a minimum of 500 events a year and bring our message to a larger community audience 7) have the members of MFAWP and the BGA through Project Chrysalis entertain at a minimum of 100 hospitals, hospices, schools, juvenile youth facilities, senior centers and other community institutions.
