MADISON, WI - March 4, 2000 - Ecological Enterprises, Inc. has

publicly unveiled their new climate change news and information

source, entitled "Climate Ark", at http://www.ClimateArk.org/ . The

site is a first of its kind climate change search engine. Those

interested in climate change research and activist activities can

carry out full text searches through an extensive list of reviewed

internet content. Climate Ark searches allow you to explore the

entire content of hundreds of different environmental sites, including

Climate Ark's own archive of non-durable Internet information relating

to Climate Change, at the same time.

Sites have carefully been chosen for inclusion. Each of the climate

change sites indexed was chosen based on their usefulness to citizen

environmentalists. Rather than getting millions of hits of various

worth and quality when you search on a major search engine, the

Climate Ark search results provide thousands of highly pertinent hits-

-the best that the internet has to offer on the topic. You can

extensively customize your search, and instantly jump to the pages

that meet your search criteria.

Glen Barry of Ecological Enterprises conceived and designed the idea

of a limited search space for the critical issue of climate change.

The intent is to contribute to making known the seriousness of Climate

Change, and aid in finding solutions. "Cumulative access to the

combined climate change research and advocacy materials on the

Internet can help policy-makers and citizens acknowledge that climate

change is for real, and begin organizing policy-responses in the realm

of energy conservation, alternatives and ending deforestation, " he

said. Environmental organizations are asked to link this important

resource, use it for their work, and provide useful additions. The

service is free.

Ecological Enterprises, Inc. is a consulting company specializing in

applying information technologies to conservation and environmental

issues, and incubating new projects to do so. It was founded several

years ago by Glen Barry, and is run by students at the University of

Wisconsin, Madison. The Climate Ark site represents research being

carried out by Mr. Barry at the University of Wisconsin for his PhD.

Climate Ark is being presented free of charge as a public service of

Ecological Enterprises, Inc.
