Reason for network

• connect to support and nourish life.
• accepting that we live in a web of life, in which all parts are important, we need to find more inclusive ways of living.
• this does not just include humans, but all the animals and species that share our lives on this planet.

Network

• Private
• Multi-layered

• Tree structure is useful for computer
