Many churches support fair trade goods. Most fair trade goods are made by small farmers and small scale industries that are much less damaging to the environment than large scale intensive farming. This helps conservation of wild species.

The Church and Energy Conservation

Global warming/Climate change is affecting the climate. Animals and plants that could once have moved further north or south to where climate conditions are suitable for them can no longer do this as many of them live in isolated nature reserves
