BAHÁ’Í WORLD CENTRE — As environmental crises deepen, efforts to rethink humanity’s relationship with nature and to pursue effective solutions are ever more urgent.

This idea is highlighted in a newly published essay on The Bahá’í World website, exploring how individuals, communities, and institutions can contribute to a more sustainable future.

Turning the Tide: Reducing Biodiversity Loss and Restoring Decimated Ecosystems” examines fundamental questions regarding the earth’s biodiversity crisis: How can our individual relationship with nature be rethought to create a more harmonious and sustainable world? How can collective will be mobilized to preserve and restore natural ecosystems? And, how can local, regional, and global governance become more coherent and integrated to address the interconnected challenges of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation?

The Bahá’í World website features a collection of essays that examine the most vital issues of our time and seek to contribute new insights from the Bahá’í teachings and from the experience of the worldwide Bahá’í community.
