About KNN
Keep Nature Natural is an organisation formed in 1998 to provide a base from which we can combat the negative effects technological 'progress' is having on our society. Essentially we provide a strong bioethical standpoint.
We very much believe that certain ideas of 'progress' are nothing but harmful to the human race and the planet as a whole. Some of the topics we are vocal in include cloning (laws need to be passed to stop abominations like Dolly the sheep from ever happening again), stem cell research (this is very disrespectful to the sanctity of human life and the very fact people want to do it shows the decay of morality in our society because of technology), genetically modified crops (the possibility of destroying the environment we live in, plus the unknown health risks make GM food a potential for disaster), and also the ever expanding threat of emergent digital technologies on things that should be left natural.

Stop Bioemulate Technologies Now
Below is a video (it's quite big so might take a while, you could just download it) we recorded off the local news about Bioemulate Technologies wanting to close parts of the beach in Bournemouth, Dorset claiming it was just to "preserve and document" what they have found there. This raises many issues with us which we will highlight below the video.

First of all this is obviously bad for the local community because why should a private enterprise benefit (probably commercially) from a find on a public beach? This should benefit the community it is found in. The fact the council are considering allowing this to happen suggests two things: (i) There is alot of money involved, and (ii) The potential finds are of a technical magnitude to the scale that the local council just don't have the expertise to handle.
Considering the company have previously undergone projects and research into immersive digital environment using real-time physics and are currently (well, until just a short time ago) investigating digital properties in natural properties we think that the company are simply not telling the whole story.
