“God’s Creation: Saving Wildlife from Trade”
Sunday, April 24, 10 AM | Fellowship Hall – presented by Sarah Uhlemann*

The Earth is facing an unprecedented extinction crisis: the UN predicts that a million species may go extinct in the coming decades unless we transform our relationship with nature. Habitat destruction and climate change are well-known threats, but wildlife trade is the second leading driver of extinction. This forum will discuss the global wildlife trade and some of the amazing creatures threatened by it – and what we can do to help. Please join in!
