Paula MacQuarrie served as the chair of the CNWE national working group and resides in Island View, NB.  She shares some of her favourite links in order to help us learn more about and act on our interconnection with all of creation.  As a grandmother, she wants her grandchildren to have the opportunity to experience the multitude of ways that God is revealed in our world, many of which are threatened by climate change.  Websites on ecology run the gamut from eco-feminism (the social movement regarding oppression of women and nature as interconnected), to creation spirituality, to nature trusts and conservancies.

Nature Conservancy Canada
The Nature Conservancy of Canada is established in 10 provinces, protects areas of natural diversity for their intrinsic value and for the benefit of our children and those after them.  They will lead, innovate and use creativity in the conservation of Canada’s natural heritage and secure important national areas through their purchase, donation or other mechanisms, and then manage these properties for the long term because, the Earth’s biological diversity is being lost at a ratio that impoverishes our quality of life and threatens our future.
