This site describes activities that support environmental science, conservation of environmentally sensitive areas, surveys of important ecological sites, scientific and educational publications (many available as PDF files), art (painting and music), and graduate student fellowship program of the Bashan Foundation. The Bashan Foundation supports the following specific subjects within the area of scientific research:

1. Conservation, re-forestation, re-vegetation, rock weathering, and restoration of eroded desert soils;

2. Microbiology and conservation of mangrove ecosystems;

3. Water bioremediation, water management, and biological treatment of wastewater with microalgae;

4. Effects of plant growth-promoting micro-organisms(PGPB/PGPR), especially Azospirillum spp., as inoculants and mixed inoculants on crops (such as, wheat, tomato, pepper) and wild plants, and

5. The effects of plant growth-promoting micro-organisms in reducing salt and drought stress in plants, of enhancing organic agriculture with and without composts amendment, biological control of plant pathogens, and genetic manipulation of these kinds of micro-organisms to enhance microbial competence.
