Protecting Land

"The whole universe is God’s dwelling. Earth, a very small, uniquely blessed corner of that universe, gifted with unique natural blessings, is humanity’s home, and humans are never so much at home as when God dwells with them."

- Catholic Bishops, Social Development & World Peace

"With an ecological sense we look at a place as an interdependent system, as a network of relationships. And we recognize that we are not just there as observers, but as part of that system. An ecological perspective sees human presence not at the center of the system, but as a part of the whole, in relationship to it, indeed in a web of interdependence with it."
