Message to the World Foresty Charter Gathering
11 DECEMBER 1989

World Forestry Charter Gathering, Savoy Hotel, London

82.1 May the noble aspirations of those working to protect and restore the world's forests, among whom Richard St. Barbe Baker was so outstanding an advocate, be given further impetus by the World Forestry Charter Gathering. May your actions become increasingly collaborative and unified in nature.

82.2 Efforts such as yours to reverse the deterioration of our natural environment reveal a growing awareness that solutions must embrace a global perspective in order to be effective.

82.3 "The earth," as Bahá’u’lláh stated a century ago, "is but one country and mankind its citizens."[1]
