"Harmony ... all beings live and grow in communion ... all tribes of beings grow in love ... everything is nourished by the wilderness of God.
Abundance ... abundance of food, of species that crawl, fly, walk or swim."
- Sr. Teresita Abraham, from her poem included in Wisdom of wilderness, published on Global Sisters Report
The United Nations designated May 22 as The International Day for Biological Diversity to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues.
