By Heidy Sumei Chuang. To paint the butterfly, to reveal its minute beauty in extravagant brushstrokes and living color, is to live in wonder and hope.

This is God's world.
And it was made to flourish.
As God’s image-bearers within the community of creation, humans are uniquely called to the holy work of earthkeeping.
At a time of growing despair and paralysis, A Rocha is changing the way people treat the earth. We are nurturing community and hope through restoring both people and places.
Check out this video to learn more about how we’re living this out.
A Rocha was made for a time such as this!
In a time of growing social-ecological challenges, we have too often neglected our biblical calling to care for creation. Christians are the largest faith community in the U.S., but we are also known as being among the least supportive of environmental action.
For the past forty years, A Rocha organizations have been pioneering faith-based conservation projects around the world. We’re all about DOING creation care, and our hands-on initiatives are motivated by our Christian faith, guided by rigorous science and theology, and rooted in our diverse communities.
"Recovering God's call to care for creation is critical to the worship and witness of God's people today. A Rocha USA is doing valuable work to live this out and equip individuals, churches, and communities to respond more faithfully in this era of global climate and environmental crisis. I enthusiastically commend them for your involvement and support!"
- Rev. Dr. Mark LabbertonPresident Emeritus, Fuller Theological Seminary 
“Things really are bad. A Rocha’s work, however, is infused with joy. It emphasizes that small things matter, and that hope is found in the reality that our work allows us to participate in a redemption story.”
Rev. Tish Harrison Warren in The New York Times 
"A Rocha USA is a critical resource for the growing number of Christians and churches looking to more faithfully represent God's image throughout all creation. They help us apply solid theology and rigorous science to engage some of the greatest challenges of our time with the hope of Christ."
Rev. Dr. Dan ChunCo-Founder/President, Hawaiian Islands Ministries 
“My time as an A Rocha USA Conservation Intern was very rewarding. I got to work with amazing people which made the experience even more worthwhile. I also gained beneficial career experience, which ultimately led me to where I am now, pursuing my master’s degree.”
Nick DavisPrevious Conservation Intern 
“For over 20 years, I have been an enthusiastic supporter of A Rocha, having seen its practical and educational work around the world. A Rocha is, in my judgment, a very fine organization, which is worthy of our support.”
The late Rev. Dr. John Stott (1921-2011) 
News and Stories from A Rocha
Churches of Restoration in Austin: Hearing Creation’s Call
By Noah Guthrie. What can it look like, in practice, to treat creation as “sacred”? Part of what it may look like is entering a conversation with our landscapes and their species. It may look like asking, “What does the Living God – the Source, Redeemer, and Sustainer of this place – invite us to hear? And once we have listened, how might God invite us to respond?”
Orchestra of the Sea: Preserving God’s Creatures in Kenya
By Dr. Robert Sluka. A dugong hadn’t been spotted in Kenya in a long time – but what was the big deal? I argued that these animals were one voice in the orchestra of creation praising God, and that protecting them and helping them thrive again was an important part of our Christian faith.
