The preservation and focus on the natural
	environment is central to Kokoro. The Pacific 
	Dry Tropical Forest where we live is a unique 
	and shrinking ecosystem. Working with the 
	environment, educating the community about it 
	and making that information available to the 
	public is important. We realize that by including 
	knowledge of the environment, we create the
	knowledge that is necessary to protect it.

	An ecology center will provide access to 
   	information on the local ecosystems and the 
   	Kokoro grounds. It will also facilitate the 
   	interchange of information between local 
   	experts, visiting scholars and visitors to the park. 

	Kokoro is working to create an ecology library, 
	specifically related to a Pacific Tropical Dry 
	forest for visitors, scholars and for local 
	reference.
