Faith in Conservation : New Approaches to Religions and the Environment

The authors explore the ecological
worldviews of eleven major world religions, and consider how
these can help shape effective environmental policy. At the
heart of this book is a discussion of how religions can work
with environment- and development-focused organizations,
both to provide alternative models of conservation
approaches, and to develop programs for their own faithful.
The world's religions can - through storytelling,
celebration, practice, spiritual guidance, activism in their
communities, and advocacy worldwide - be powerful, and
effective partners in a wide range of conservation
initiatives. The book includes a collection of the
faiths' core statements on conservation, brought
together for the first time.
