Short description: Religion influences how people perceive and respond to health issues, or take up new health interventions, especially in times of crisis. As global travel communication, and migrations continue to diversify local communities worldwide, religion and spirituality play a significant role in shaping the values, beliefs, ecosystems, and behaviors of billions of people around the world. This webinar series will explore how faith-based communities and spiritual practices integrate with citizen science initiatives from sharing knowledge of indigenous practices to using modern technological tools. Participants will receive a free copy of the newly published, Mattering Faith: Community-Based Initiatives to Measure Environmental Racism.
