"Just in case you were thinking that religion is a thing of the past, I highly recommend that you read the rich collection of case studies in this eye-opening book. They make it abundantly clear that world religions are not only thriving, but they are also making a positive impact on safeguarding nature in the age of humans."

Shonil A. Bhagwat, Professor of Environment and Development, Head of School, Social Sciences and Global Studies, The Open University, UK

"This important volume of case studies from around the world provides an invaluable service by highlighting the key role that mainstream religions and Indigenous traditions have to play in protecting nature. Without the deep kind of support described in Religion and Nature Conservation: Global Case Studies, programs of environmental and cultural conservation will not succeed in being equitable, inclusive, and sustainable."

Edwin Bernbaum, Co-Chair, IUCN Specialist Group on the Cultural and Spiritual Value of Protected Areas (CSVPA) and author of Sacred Mountains of the World, 2nd edition

"This book is an invaluable contribution that illustrates the critical role of religions in the conservation movement. It documents remarkable examples from around the world that will inspire further engaged religious environmentalism. It is indeed a unique and indispensable monograph for the growing field of religion and ecology."

Mary Evelyn Tucker, Yale University, Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology
