Our world is our environment. It is the air we breath, the water we drink and the food we eat. It is where we live, play and love. It is our home -- OUR HOME!!!
If we do not take care of it we will destroy ourselves. Given that we live in this world and we have been instructed to be stewards of it, I have included in this section links to organizations and groups that I support either actively or in intent. On my page titled "Pathways" are links to organizations I support who understand the concept of stewardship and have put it into practice. I have always felt a kinship with Our Brother Wolf and have begun a section on wolves on this site. I have included links to sites specifically about wolves. Please check some of them out. |

West Coast Environmental Law (BC/CA)The mission of the West Coast Environmental Law organization is to provide legal services, research and education to promote protection of the environment and public participation in environmental decision-making.

Stanley Park Ecology Society (BC/CA) Stanley Park is one of the most beautiful urban parks found in Canada. Set aside in 1888, it continues to provide recreational and natural history enjoyment to millions of people. The park user has access to a unique living ecosystem comprised of shoreline, freshwater ponds, forest, creeks, lagoon, gardens, and cultivated lawns. Because of these varied habitats, the park provides a microcosm of many of the ecological regions found in BC. The Stanley Park Ecology Society (SPES) is a volunteer-based organization dedicated to creating awareness and sensitivity of the natural world, and the value, diversity, and inter-relationship of all living things through education and conservation.

Forest Action Network (BC/CA)The Forest Action Network (FAN) is a grassroots organization with a network of over 500 forest activists and twenty-two organizations throughout British Columbia, North America and Europe.
