Did you know? (Ecovillage Facts)

Did you know?

By June 2010, the Anastasia.ru website had listed more than 180 quickly developing ecovillages of Kin's domains in Russia alone, which does not include any of the GEN ecovillage. (For comparison, the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) listed a total of 500 ecovillages registered with them.)
ALL of those Ringing Cedar ecovillages have been launched and developed within the last 10 years.
Considering that 40 less, namely 140 ecovillages were listed by Anastasia.ru in June 2009, it shows a rather substantial growth, an almost 30% increase. : )

Around the world, people are building communities that attempt to get away from the waste, pollution,competition and violence of contemporary life. The Global Ecovillage Network links several of these communities worldwide."

Kovcheg (The Ark) is one of the most successfull ecovillages of Kin's domains in Russia.
The whole idea may be said in three sentences:
"Our settlement is based on family owned land where each family owns one hectare of land to be kept in the family for generations. One hectare with woods, fruit trees, garden and a small pond can provide the family with all of life’s necessities. By using long ignored methods of cultivating the earth and harvesting in the context of preserving the earth for future generations, this hectare of land will produce enough for the family’s use with surplus..."
