There are many different approaches to experiencing the world around us. They are mostly determined by the culture in which we are born and the examples we follow (our education as children). After having carefully looked at the results of those different cultural approaches practiced throughout history, we have focused on the ones most respectful of their environment: The primitive social cells based on bloodline, tribes or clans.

We are getting our inspiration from ancient primitive groups like the American Indians of North, Central and South America; the tribes of Africa and the Aboriginals of Australia. There is a way to measure the level of development of a civilization. It is by looking at how they treat their children, animals and plants.

Before their ways are lost forever, as are some species of plants or animals, let us give so called primitive cultures a chance to speak and show us a different approach to treating the planet. We are not proposing a return to primitive lifestyles but rather a reevaluation of our concept of nature as a resource created for our consumption. Are minerals, plants and animals there to serve our purpose? Or are we simply here, side by side, in coexistence with other realms of nature? If the purpose of technology is to improve our conditions of life, that purpose becomes totally defeated by its result when it turns into an ecological disaster. Hence our interest for other types of societies less destructive of their environment.

Our subjects are mainly marine mammals because of their close relationship with humans. Marine mammals are the top of the food chain, therefore, a good indicator of the quality of their ecosystem. They are also charismatic figures attracting universal attention, and they generate a strong emotional response, which is the root of motivation.
