Former Oil Executive to Build a Rainforest Habitat and Educational Center in Phoenix Area

Prominent businessman, David Calvin, will be developing a rainforest habitat and educational center through his real estate development firm, Calvin Enterprises. The habitat and educational center will address environmental and conservation issues, and will be called Paradise Earth (www.paradiseearth.com). It is being developed in the Phoenix, Arizona area.

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) April 24, 2007 -- Former oil company executive and owner of Calvin Enterprises, David Calvin, has announced the development of an 80,000+ sq. ft. rainforest habitat in the Phoenix area. Dubbed "Paradise Earth," the habitat will feature an aviary with exotic birds, and the perimeter will consist of an educational center to teach visitors about conservation and environmentally friendly ways of living. News and progress on the habitat's development will be available at www.paradiseearth.com.

As a successful entrepreneur of over twenty five years in insurance, oil, and real estate development, David Calvin has moved away from the stereotypical caricature of many oil company owners and big business executives of being ignorant of, or unconcerned with, environmental issues and conservation. Instead, Calvin Enterprises is bringing public education on these issues to the forefront through this massive endeavor, during a time where the world is reacting to a variety of growing environmental concerns, from global warming to habitat preservation.

Paradise Earth has a mission of both public education and conservation, and will feature educational materials on issues such as ecology, rainforest conservation, environmental protection, recycling, and more. In addition to the rain forest habitat and aviary itself, it will include environmentally friendly products and displays such as vehicles and alternative fuel and energy products. The facility will also house a 1000 seat conference center and Imax theater, and the habitat alone will span over 75,000 sq. ft.
