Grant Barbeito, filmmaker and co-owner and founder of Plant it Film Productions, was inspired to found Earth Protect, Inc.

Grant gained his vision for Earth Protect from seeing how the the film “Dolphin Defender”, produced by Hardy Jones, was the impetus for changes across the planet to protect dolphins. This example strengthened Grant’s understanding of the power of film to raise awareness which is the starting point for achieving effective changes in policies and practices worldwide. The life-changing experience of a safari in Tanzania he shared with his mother and wife in January 2007 added to Grant’s passion to found Earth Protect.

Grant envisioned a worldwide social networking web site on all aspects of the environment. Earth Protect, Inc. focuses on visitor uploaded and linked videos and films. These videos and other site services will raise awareness among millions of people across our planet, leading to more effective actions toward achieving a healthy sustainable environment.

Grant invited Dr. Carol Barbeito, a recognized expert in leading and managing organizations, to become President and Managing Director of Earth Protect, Inc. Carol has 36 years of executive experience, is a published author on management topics and has experience in building coalitions, networks and large databases. Together Carol and Grant form a powerful team which is supported by employees, contractors, colleagues, experts, Advisors, investors, Directors and friends and family. Earth Protect, Inc. was incorporated on August 8, 2007 in Colorado.
