EWS Office of Justice and Peace, Diocese of Richmond May 2008 Understanding Four Basic Ecological Principles Excerpted from “The Habits of Creation” Workshop Manual, written by the diocesan Ecological Working Group The earth is an extraordinary body, so full of life and energy, of diverse parts acting together, that some have likened it to an organism. This biosphere is comprised of hundreds of different ecosystems, distinct communities of plants and animals, and the water, air, soil and mineral resources that support them. Ecosystems are like neighborhoods, or perhaps like neighborhoods of years past. All the “neighbors” interact with each other, either directly – a bee pollinating a berry flower, a fox eating a squirrel – or indirectly, as when rain leaches nutrients from deer droppings, which in turn enter a stream, fueling the growth of algae, a source of food for the fish. Ecosystems vary in size, complexity, and vulnerability to human intervention. Some, like tropical forest

God created an abundant Creation, filled with glorious creatures both large and small. As stewards of God’s Creation we are called to protect all life, to keep and care for the garden. The blessing of fruitfulness is given to all of Creation in Genesis, and it is our duty to ensure that all life is allowed the opportunity of fruitfulness. The Creator blessed the Earth so that all creatures will prosper with great abundance and diversity. Stewardship of Biodiversity and Endangered Species The protection of biodiversity, or the diversity of all life, is an essential part of our roles as stewards of Creation. The current rate of extinction is 50 to 1,000 times the natural rate of extinction in some areas. Since the early formations of the U. S. colonies, at least 500 species native to the United States are known to have become extinct. The loss of one species can have significant effects across all of creation. In Central and South America a single tree may have as many as 1,200
