You might come for the trees, but leave with so much more.🌲💚

Time and time again, volunteers tell us they leave with new friendships, new skills, a deeper #connection to nature, and the #knowledge that they've helped restore Scotland's wild landscapes.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Unfortunately, the winds of war are blowing once again in the Middle East, in Ukraine and in many other parts of the world, sowing violence, terror and death, and once again affecting many innocent people. Let us not allow these winds to extinguish the flame of hope and peace, even when it seems fragile and flickering.
I renew my hope that we will persevere on the path of dialogue, encounter and diplomacy. This is the only path capable of leading to a just and lasting peace, in which peoples can live in reconciliation, mutual security and respect for the dignity of every person.

In the 1950s there were an estimated 5 million elephants in Africa.

In 1970s the population dropped to approximately 1.3 million and in 2000s numbers plummeted to 400,000.

Now mega herds are starting to reappear, thanks to conservation efforts.

“I came without a speech, because I’m hungry.

“I’m hungry for justice, hungry for authentic charity, hungry for a Church that truly knows how to open the doors, welcome, receive everyone, where there is love for all and where no one is an enemy.”

— Pope Leo XIV at lunch with 200 migrants, refugees, and homeless persons.
