This site is dedicated to those who love the earth, and  who dream and hope for  the day when  environmental pollution, murder and destruction
               are but distant memories.
 It features the fantasy coral reef paintings of Lee James Pantas and is also a science-based resource website for those
               who realize we are in a war for the future of  humanity. The battle lines are being  drawn in our world today between those who love and cherish
                                                         the earth and those who don't. If you  are one of those who care, then this site is for you.
