Earth Charter International has introduced a new design for its popular website. Starting first with the "splash" page, and working through the rest of the site step by step, the new design will be rolled out in stages over the coming weeks, and new features added during the course of the coming year. The new design is intended to be a stronger platform for linking people to the web's extended opportunities for networking and collaborating. For example, the splash page includes a direct link to the "WiserEarth.org" social networking site, and a new link to a full public database of organizations that have endorsed the Earth Charter. The database can also be viewed in the form of a map, showing the number of Endorsers in each country or state. Soon, Affiliates, Youth Groups, and other categories will also be accessible via this database and map system. A photo gallery (not yet functioning) will allow ECI to feature images from around the world, and eventually live links to videos will also be possible.

ECI welcomes comments and suggestions on the new site, and invites you to "stay tuned" and watch as new developments come on line.
