\n\n\n\nDear Colleagues,<\/p>\n
We hope that this email finds you well in these unprecedented times.\u00a0\u00a0We are inviting potential authors to submit abstracts to be considered for a book provisionally entitled \u2018Case Studies in the Conservation of Nature through Faith\u2019.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is argued that religious or spiritual motivations for environmentally oriented behavior could effectively mobilize mainstream society to support and contribute to nature conservation.\u00a0\u00a0However, a global referential documentation does not exist to highlight specific instances where bridging religion and conservation science has been successful or has faltered. Awoyemi\u00a0et al.\u00a0<\/i>(2012) wrote an article titled \u201cGlobal Efforts to Bridge Religion and Conservation: Are they Really Working?\u201d, and Bhagwat, Ormsby, and Rutte (2011) published an article on \u201cThe Role of Religion in Linking Conservation\u00a0and Development: Challenges and Opportunities,\u201d\u00a0but these articles are now eight and nine years old. A global and current documentation of case studies in the conservation of nature through faith from varied authors is needed to update knowledge on this important interface. Highlighting this knowledge would facilitate religious and conservation communities to learn new approaches to strengthen interactions and discard methods that are not working.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Please submit your abstract\/proposals by September 30th, 2020.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Selection Criteria:<\/b><\/p>\n
1. The article should be focused on documenting one or more case studies in the conservation of nature through faith anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n
2. The article may be authored by a faith adherent, provided conservation projects are grassroots and driven by faith communities.\u00a0\u00a0There should ideally be a co-author from the faith\u00a0tradition being covered in the case study, if possible.<\/p>\n
3. The article should state how faith tradition empowers, motivates, and guides the conservation action.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Abstracts of\u00a0no more than 300 words<\/u>\u00a0should be sent by September 30th<\/sup>\u00a0to the editorial team of\u00a0Stephen Awoyemi,\u00a0Radhika Borde,\u00a0Andrew Gosler, and Alison Ormsby via the following email address:\u00a0\u00a0Stephen Awoyemi <sawoyemi@gmail.com<\/a>><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":23923,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_s2mail":"yes"},"categories":[1],"tags":[4,19,21,7,12,13,8,9],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33840"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33840\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
