From WWF's website:

“There are several passages within the Koran which talk about the responsibility of humans in protecting our environment and wildlife,” said Umi A’ Zuhrah from the Tiger Conservation Programme at WWF-Malaysia. “Religious leaders are very influential and greatly respected in this community, so they are the best people to carry this message across.”

They certainly could enforce compliance.

Also thinking that it would take a lot of guts to start a blog about Islam and ecology, but it would be an interesting read.

In the Word

If you besiege a town for a long time, making war against it in order to take it, you must not destroy its trees by wielding an ax against them. Although you may take food from them, you must not cut them down. Are trees in the field human beings that they should come under siege from you? Deuteronomy 20:19
