Omniscientific Cosmology
Integrative Transcendence - the Science of Peace

When Anthony Marr was 33, he went camping solo in the Africa savannah, sleeping under the stars amidst lions. What he brought back to Canada three months later was a new philosophical system known as the Omniscientific Cosmology, hailed as "original", "beautiful", "fascinating", �formidable�, immensely logical" and �ground-breaking�.

Undercover Operations

Anthony Marr has performed undercover operations in the Chinatowns of Vancouver, Victoria, Toronto, Ottawa, New York and San Francisco, as well as in the convoluted enclaves of New Delhi and Calcutta, as well as the dolphin-killing village of Taiji and the whaling port of Shimonoseki, Japan. After the investigations, he led media into the enclaves in question, which usually became high profile newspaper articles and TV broadcasts. This highly popular media coverage forced the federal government to pass and enact the WAPPRITTA wildlife protection laws within months.

Deep-Rural-India Expeditions

Anthony Marr has led three deep-rural expeditions in India, to work inside the tiger reserves and with the villagers who live in the buffer zones surrounding the core areas. One of the strategies is to slow, halt and reverse deforestation by introduction of solar cooking and biogas technology to supplant wood-burning.
