Environmental Protection
The natural environment is one of the earth’s greatest beauties and wonders, but under severe stress worldwide. Its protection and reverence are crucial for many reasons:
- Conservation of biological diversity and resilience
- Protection of ecological processes upon which the whole web-of-life depends
- Ecological, social, cultural and economic sustainability
- Climate stability
- Green sanctuary for people – spiritual and recreational haven, healing and psychological wellbeing
- Sanctuary and habitat for other species – terrestrial and marine flora and fauna
- Retaining and honouring indigenous (and other) people’s connection to land, earth energies and sacred sites
- Scientific discoveries yet to be made
- Educational resource
- An important part of national identities and heritage, and collectively of world heritage
- It’s beautiful…………
