* Reawakening our deep connections to all living things with the help of the rescued wildlife under our care. Seeing the beauty all around us profoundly enriches our lives and inspires us to save land for all beings. “Much of the stress and emptiness that haunts us can be traced back to our lack of attention to beauty… The Beautiful offers us an invitation to order, coherence, and unity. When these needs are met, the soul feels at home in the world.” John O’Donohue * If we expand our sense of community to include all Life then we will profoundly affect the conservation decisions we make, enriching life for humans, saving space for animals, and inspiring action to interweave wildlife corridors throughout all the continents.
