Über uns

Project Gaia is based upon integrated coastal zone management in the Maltese islands. We are a non profit, non government organisation set up in June 1994 to specialise in this field of environment management. Gaia is part of the Global Ecovillage Network, member of the Worldwatch Institute, and part of the Gaia Movement world wide.

The mission of the Foundation is to carry out hands on project implementation in the fields of environment and integrated coastal zone management. An essential part of its work includes the development of models for a sustainable society. These models incorporate a holistic approach to living, reflecting nature and mother earth itself, from which the Foundation derives its name.

The Foundation believes that a healthy democracy is based upon heightened awareness of citizens and active participation in their community. As the principles of governance develop, so does the role of civil society.

Gaia is named after productive Mother Earth in Greek mythology. Project Gaia is the name given to The Gaia Foundation’s work on the integrated management of specially protected areas in the Maltese Islands.
