Prospective Participants
As of December 2024, here is an example, preliminary list of over120 individuals suggested to be requested as participants and advisors
This list comprises names of over 120 accomplished individuals, all of whom are public intellectuals who have contributed significantly to the well-being of humanity and the biosphere. All most surely could help guide beneficial societal change in the inaugural forum showcasing Origins & Extinctions Days, should they decide to participate, either in-person or virtually. Reader suggestions for additional wise, creative, individuals who would lend unique perspectives and effort to Origins and Extinctions Days would be greatly appreciated. This preliminary list of nearly 100 desired individual participants was quasi-complete as of March 2017; unfortunately some of these luminaries have died since the first creation of this list, so it has been significantly updated and expanded by late 2024. It is hoped that requests for participation will be sent to NGOs, corporations, and government agencies by early 2025.

Corporations
Below is a preliminary list of corporations that appeared–as of 2019–to be frequently noted for their efforts in sustainability or social responsibility or environmental responsibility. Hence, these corporations may be valuable candidates for participating in Origins and Extinctions Days and in the development of the World Center for Survival of Our Cultural and Biological Heritage. Check also http://bcorporation.net/ for an updated list, but see also https://www.corporateaccountability.org/resources/the-big-con-net-zero/ as a cautionary consideration. Beyond what a corporation putatively does with respect to social and environmental justice issues, the basic indicators of bona fide corporate social responsibility also would include such rudimentary minimum actions as a corporation that pays an ethically-acceptable level of taxes, pays its employees well, invests in employee education, built infrastructure, and in research and development for the long-term.
