God created an abundant Creation, filled with glorious creatures both large and
small.
As stewards of God’s Creation we are called to protect all life, to keep and care for the
garden.
The blessing of fruitfulness is given to all of Creation in Genesis, and it is our duty to
ensure that all life is allowed the opportunity of fruitfulness.

The
current rate of extinction is 50 to 1,000 times the natural rate of extinction in some areas.

United States are known to have become extinct.
The loss of one species can have significant effects across
all of creation.
In Central and South America a single tree
may have as many as 1,200
