In September 1986, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) brought together five major world religions to declare how their faith leads each of them to care for nature. What resulted were the Assisi Declarations: calls from Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, and Islamic leaders to their own faithful. Afterwards, three more faiths -- Baha'i, Jainism and Sikhism -- produced similar declarations. Here you will find their excerpted messages. |
