Citizen Stewardship Program
With
funding from the Arizona Community Foundation, the Tucson
Audubon Society is
participating on a state-wide Citizen Stewardship program, serving
with other organizations as a study group to produce portable
program(s) that promote citizen stewardship of animals and their
environment, whether domestic, in the wild, or in refuge. The
goal is to improve peoples' relationships with and understanding of
our natural heritage, in particular animals and their habitat, so
that everyone may lead more sustainable lifestyles. We would
like to foster an atmosphere for citizens to be more empathetic and
nurturing, to recognize their impact on the environment, and to
becoming committed to making a difference through willing and
enthusiastic action to protect the environment. Organizations participating on this founding coalition are:
Arizona
Animal Welfare League and SPCA www.aawl.org
Audubon Arizona http://az.audubon.org/
Grand
Canyon Trust www.grandcanyontrust.org
Liberty
Wildlife www.libertywildlife.org
The
Phoenix Zoo www.phoenixzoo.org
