Hi All
We are inviting nominations for the 2021 Assisi Award.
The Assisi Award recognizes that religious and spiritual motivation springs from the depths of being, and is an enduring source of meaning for billions on the planet. As such, it constitutes a fundamental driver of conservation action. This award will reinforce the ongoing dialogue amongst faiths and conservation by acknowledging organizations and individuals that are demonstrating through their successes that faith-based conservation is contributing significantly to the common global effort of conserving life on Earth. The award will target initiatives from around the world that are conceived in the context of both mainstream religious groups and indigenous spiritual traditions.
The Assisi Award will be presented (in person or virtually) at the ICCB in December 2021.
Please see the attached nomination form. The deadline for nominations is May 31st 2021.
For more information please contact Kit Magellan (mercyreleasenetwork@gmail.com) or Alex Greene (accidentalshrike@gmail.com).
Stay safe!
