Flora and Fauna. Words that describe the worlds of plants and animals. You and I are part of the world of fauna. Together, we populate the planet we all share on on which we all depend.

Thinking of us as fauna helps to remind me that we are not here to merely exploit but to share. With sharing comes responsibility, or, as I like to think of it, “response ability,” the ability to respond, to do what is necessary. After all, Nature’s Medicine can only offer her bounty if we do our part to protect her. Thank you for doing your part to sustain the availability of Nature’s Medicine for us all.
