Churches—The Lost Market for Environmental Activism

With the rapid decline of fish and wildlife habitat and rampant population growth, we are losing the fight for fish and wildlife, and fish and wildlife are losing habitat. The nation's 350,000 churches are an uncultivated key to helping solve our habitat and environmental crisis. Conservation and stewardship responsibilities are scriptural in the western religious doctrine, and churches have had this responsibility from the beginning. No other body is as large nor has the inherent power to excite the conscience into renewed activity on behalf of wildlife and the earth as this potential source.
