Our home planet Earth is undergoing rapid and sustained destruction of its eco-systems. This is giving rise to unacceptable levels of pollution, increasing damage to human habitations and ultimately threatening worldwide population disruption. Muslims comprise at least one fifth of the human community and they can contribute much to the thinking that is vital to re-evaluate the future direction of the human community and save its home for itself. Islam has a very strong environmental message and the Islamic Foundation for Ecology and Environmental Sciences has developed an internationally recognised training method that identifies the Islamic ethical position on these matters and at the same time draws the attention of participants to the practical dimensions of this subject.
