I- Concept...

Despite the fact that Egypt has about 1000km of Mediterranean Coast on the North, and another 1000km of Red Sea Cost on the East, most of the Egyptians are living around the Nile River at the middle on a land that does not exceed 4% of the country size.

The Question is:

- Is it because of the fresh water type of the Nile River?

Or

- Because the Egyptians never try to communicate with the environment?

Glancing the population density maps constructed, through a period of more than hundred years, you will notice the similarity in shape but the difference in density.

For Example, in year 1899, Delta area population was about 5.6 million, which had increased to 44 million in 2003. However, the density at the rest of the country remained almost the samewith a very slight increase in population.

So it is obvious that the main reason is the lack of the communication between the Egyptians and thir environment.

II- Target...

Encourage people to communicate with, and appreciate their surrounding environment. As well as, considering the bright side of the Mother Nature actions...

III- The Action...

The Establishment of an "Academy for Environmental Studies and Science" with a prime Objective of:

"Raising a generation that knows how to love, appreciate and communicate with the Nature and their surrounding environment".

IV- Location...

Due to the fact that the New Valley Governorate occupies more than 60% of the Egyptian Land, it is considered to be the most suitable location for this academy...

V- Required Area Size...

Tentatively 1 Square km area (around 250 Acres) is quiet adequate to establish the campus and the related facilities, to extend and cover another 1 Square km for future expansion and development...

It is fully understood that, if such proposal meets the acceptance of the authorities, we will have to select the suitable site after a proper technical investigation.

At this moment, it is early in the game to discuss the detailed Infrastructure and the financial requirements... etc...
