All creatures great and small


Often dubbed the green pope by the media, Pope Benedict has stressed on many occasions the need for humans to protect and respect the environment. In his World Day of Peace Message for 2010 he urged mankind to renew and strengthen that covenant between human beings and the environment which should mirror the creative love of God. And when it comes to God's creation, all living creatures come under that umbrella, even those who have no utilitarian role for us humans.

Listen to a reflection that picks up on that theme from Mary Colwell, an environmental adviser to the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales, who talks about her recent visit to the top of a Scottish mountain where she watched the activites of a small arctic bird called the Ptarmigan.
