The goal of international space station is to advance mankind's understanding of our world, its place in our solar system, and what piece of the jigsaw we are actually in, out there in deep space. The key term is 'International' because exploring space is very, very expensive. Also, nations working together (a normal thing in the scientific world, but often alien in the political world) means that mankind's knowledge would advance in leaps and bounds.Ever since primitive men (and women, of course) looked up and saw the stars in the night sky - we, throughout the ages have 'wondered' - and wonder is what life is all about!

Listing the seven wonders of the world began during the time of the Greeks. The first lists were for travelers of that time, listing man-made objects of particular architectural or sculptural note. Today there are many such lists, including the Seven Modern Wonders, the Seven Wonders of the Medieval World, the Seven Natural Wonders, the Seven Wonders of Medicine, etc. There are many other such lists; none are definitive, of course. The United Nations' World Heritage Convention (part of UNESCO) has compiled an inventory of the world's wonders that it plans to preserve and protect. To qualify, a site must be judged to have outstanding universal value, either natural, like Canada's Wood Buffalo National Park and Australia's Great Barrier Reef, or cultural, like Haiti's Citadel and Sans Souci and France's Chartres Cathedral. Among the hundreds of sites listed by the World Heritage Convention are the ancient city of Cuzco in Peru, Virunga National Park in Zaire, the U.S.'s Statue of Liberty, Altamira Cave in Spain, and Sri Lanka's sacred city of Anuradhapura. You can read more about some of the World Heritage Sites in the Society's book Our World's Heritage, published in 1987.

Pro-Poor Tourism (PPT) is tourism that results in increased net benefits for poor people. PPT is not a specific product or niche sector but an approach to tourism development and management. It enhances the linkages between tourism businesses and poor people, so that tourism's contribution to poverty reduction is increased and poor people are able to participate more effectively in product development. Links with many different types of 'the poor' need to be considered: staff, neighbouring communities, land-holders, producers of food, fuel and other suppliers, operators of micro tourism businesses, craft-makers, other users of tourism infrastructure (roads) and resources (water) etc. There are many types of pro poor tourism strategies, ranging from increasing local employment to building mechanisms for consultation. Any type of company can be involved in pro-poor tourism - a small lodge, an urban hotel, a tour operator, an infrastructure developer. The critical factor is not the type of company or the type of tourism, but that an increase in the net benefits that go to poor people can be demonstrated.
