CEL is seeking 100 churches to raise £100 each for habitat conservation projects

One quarter of the world’s mammals and one fifth of the plants are under threat of extinction
                                                                                                
Could your church have a fund raising event?

• to save habitat or species

Please tell Christian Ecology Link. We will celebrate the fact by

• putting a link to you from the website

We want to show the world that Christians care about the gifts God has given us – and care that future generations should enjoy them too.

More details:- Phone 01729 822138

CEL can suggest projects to support.  For example a church in Settle is supporting three charities: World Land Trust, Cool Earth and A Rocha Ghana.

• Click for details of these three charities
• See blog about fundraising for them.

If you support a church abroad, why not ask them about conservation projects near them, thus increasing both their and your awareness. Contact Judith Allinson 01729 822138  webeditor@christian-ecology.org.uk

“Whatsoever is good” – Philippians 4 v.8

Spending £1 to save rainforest from being destroyed can prevent 330kg carbon dioxide being produced that's one third of a ton – a better return on £1 for preventing climate change than any other way

Species extinction rates are now 1000 times as great as the natural rate due to habitat loss

Churches which have raised over £100:

1. Eco-group at Clun Methodist Church, Shropshire raised over £300 - Summer 2011
2. Churches Together in Settle and District - January 2011
3. St John's Methodist Church, Settle
4. Hartley Wintney with their Christmas Card Tree - December 2011
