2. The need for environmental protection - 4
True Father was concerned with a plan for the world of the future, so he began to develop South America. There is a river that flows through four nations—Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay. It flows out to the Atlantic.
Actually the regions along this river haven't been developed. They are untouched forests. Father thought about the future and about how to make your lives happy, and asked you to visit there and take part in many kinds of providential work. People who do not look ahead into the future are destroying much of the environment. When that was happening, Father bought a lot of land in the region and thought about how to generate oxygen, which is one element people need most in order to live.
He thought about the global environment, and he worked to protect hundreds of endangered species. Farm Leda was established with the help of Japanese missionaries. While developing the farm, Father emphasized conservation along with the protection of endangered species. The research team began raising pacu and releasing them into the river. The president of Paraguay was very happy to hear about this, and he came to take part.
Father worked hard and invested himself in solving the problem of how to feed all of humankind in the future, amid circumstances where dozens of endangered species of fish are disappearing from the face of the earth.
Through this example you can feel True Parents' heart. True Parents are the ones who can take care of things like this. (2013.05.12, Changwon Family Church) |
