New Resource! Practical Ways We Can Help Pollinators

Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation

Originally Published on OMIUSAJPIC.ORG

At the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP 15) in 2022, countries agreed to return 30% of land and 30% of the oceans to nature. Seizing this momentum, in June 2023, Irish Bishops called for conservation of nearly a third of church property to become havens for pollinators and biodiversity.

The bishops’ initiative responds to:

  • Pope Francis’ 2015 encyclical “Laudato Si, on Care for Our Common Home,”
  • the impending loss of biodiversity
  • and agreements made at COP15 in December 2022.

Integrity of Creation as an integral part of evangelization was re-affirmed at the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate’s 37th General Chapter in September 2022.

The OMI Justice, Peace & Integrity of Creation has adapted some ideas from the Irish Bishops’ resource Faith Communities Actions to Help Pollinators and complied them as possible actions for people to take.
