The aim is to establish peace, justice, equality and fairness through a massive public voice. Connect humanity in one singularity primarily through education. Tolerance needs to be practiced.
we need help to solve the Indian-Pakistani conflict centered on Kashmir. A mediation effort is critical without which a breakthrough is not possible. Given the history of enmity between the two countries, an outsider must step in now.
India-Pakistan Peace Park should be established in the Sir Creek estuary on the Arabian sea and the Siachen glacier at the northern tip of Pakistan bordering Indian territory
A group for those of us focused on International Peace Parks and Trans-Boundary Conservation Areas...through research, academic writing, various projects, and active park management, and the challenges of trying to create and International Peace Park
We can join and work for peace.
Yes, we can make Peace.WE can.We can.............Finaly also we can

J. Seamus Boylson said… - Greetings and Salaam, Professor: Thank you for taking time from your very busy life and schedule to bother to read my "inaugural" Blog.
We have a lot in common, in both our academic and professional backgrounds. Most of my academic work was done through my beloved Alma Mater, UCLA: The love affair for which I hold dating back to my childhood days; growing up in Westwood, and spending many hours in their Natural Science/Biology Labs. [This was when UCLA was still 3 buildings in the middle of a forest! (Which is a dead give-away as to my "maturity").]
But as my bio indicates, I also spent many years in Asia/the Pacific Rim and Islands, Africa, and ALL of North/North Central Americas.
And after having lived, worked traveled, even studied in 80 Countries on 5 Continents, happy to say I'm still at it: I'll be visiting more than a dozen countries I haven't previously been to, in the first half of this year; specifically including your Homeland, your close neighbor, Afghanistan, and likely at least several of the other neighboring "-stan" nations of that region.
In addition, I have over 20 nations in West, Central & East Africa to visit, set up Distributors & related Health Education delivery programs; then get started in providing these populations with truly pure water they can ALL (incl. the infants & children, or most "in need/at risk" populations) drink!* (Note: *I.e., & without "holding their noses"; or, as my village in Uganda calls it: "The water that doesn't taste like medicine".)
I hope we can stay in contact, and there will be a possibility of visiting in person when I come to Pakistan this year. Sincerely, J. Seamus ("Jim") Boylson
