Released for deepening on appreciation of nature, man's relationship to it, and responsibility to preserve ecological balance (and to share with non-Bahá'ís), lending assistance to those striving to make world "an earthly paradise"

"We enclose a copy of a new compilation entitled "Conservation of the Earth's Resources" which was prepared by the Research Department at the instruction of the Universal House of Justice for the purpose of assisting the friends in responding to the call, in the Ridván message, for an increase in Bahá'í activities aimed at supporting endeavors to protect the environment.

"The compilation was assembled, primarily, to deepen the believers' appreciation of the Bahá'í concept of nature and to enhance their understanding of both man's relationship to nature and his responsibility to preserve the world's ecological balance. It could also serve as a valuable tool for use with non-Bahá'ís who have some knowledge of the Bahá'í Faith and its approach to the solution of pressing social problems.

"It is the hope of the Universal House of Justice that ... armed with increased knowledge of this important subject, the friends will be inspired to lend their assistance to those who are striving to make this world "an earthly paradise.""
