...the best way in which you can help to save the wildlife
and natural condition of the world is to exert every effort to bring the
Message of Bahá'u'lláh to the attention of your fellow-men and to win their allegiance
to His Cause.
As the hearts of men are changed, and they begin to work in
unity in the light of Bahá'u'lláh's teachings, they can begin to implement many
practical improvements to the condition of the world. This is already beginning
in the efforts at social and economic development in those areas where large
Bahá'í communities have been founded. Of course, you can also assist those with
whom you come into contact who have an interest in improving the environment,
but the fundamental solution is the one that Bahá'u'lláh has brought.

Compilations, vol. I, Conservation of the Earth's Resources)
