AprGood news amid the Covid19 situation. Permalution is announced as the recipient of the Roddenberry Catalyst Fund in April 2020. The grant is aimed at developing wildfire mitigation strategies and climate change solutions using fog, at a natural protected area in Nayarit. MX.
The Roddenberry Foundation is a global, small grants program focused on early-stage, unconventional ideas that have the potential for disruptive change. Ideas that challenge conventional thinking, that compel to see a problem in a new light; and whose creativity redefines notions of what can be done and how.
The Roddenberry Foundation (TRF) makes catalytic, timely investments in original ideas and extraordinary people who can change the world. Through three core programs we cast a wide net to uncover and support these great, often untested ideas and the individuals and organizations whose vision and leadership have the potential to bring them to fruition..– Roddenberry Foundation
Pursuing fog work amid the pandemic
We are grateful to be working with outstanding teams of local forestal engineers, biologists, and conservationists where our projects are being held. Taking all needed measures and preventions for social distancing and remote working, our teams and partners are eager to continue with the project for wildfire mitigation through fog water harvesting. We now see even more the necessity to prioritize efforts towards climate change solutions and efforts.
Permalution has representation both in Sherbrooke, QC, and Guadalajara MX. The teams work together from afar and design solutions for climate change through fog water harvesting. Even though the pandemic limits our current work of sending materials back and forward, on-site visits, and more, we are currently adapting to a new way of operating, through remote management models and shifting into circular economy based projects in order to use local materials as much as possible.
