II. Description of Organization

Organization, Mission, and Goals:

The Borderlands Environmental Archives is one of the first Internet-based resource guides to focus on the U.S-Mexico border. It debuted in 1995. The archives include original articles, contact lists and bibliographies. This forum promotes a more holistic approach to border environmental issues.

The goal behind the entire Planeta.com website is not to fill but create a niche which explores the options pursued throughout the hemisphere that promote environmental conservation, cultural understanding and local economic development, particularly through responsible tourism and ecotourism.
