News of the world environment

Hello!

This is Maureen, the editor of Earth Island Journal. Thank you for signing up. You will receive this newsletter in your inbox every other Friday.
 

Let’s go beyond daily headlines

In this newsletter, as in our magazine, we highlight environmental news and views from a wide range of perspectives, including those often overlooked by the mainstream press. We try to bring important stories forward — especially ones that intersect with other issues like gender, indigenous culture, human rights, or technology. 

For example, here are three recent stories that we shared with readers:

• A hard-hitting report by a former hunter who spent two years investigating canned hunting operations in Texas and examining a little-known hunting subculture that toys with our notion of “wild.”
• A provocative essay about how it’s absolutely normal to get angry about corporate capitalism destroying our world — The Case for Climate Rage.
• The incredible story of the Winnemem Wintu tribe's efforts to bring a critically endangered salmon sub-species back to the McCloud River in Northern California.

Looking for more?

Because ideas matter. And information matters.

We may be small, but we are proudly independent. As a nonprofit publication, readers like you provide financial support that helps Earth Island Journal pay the talented writers, photographers and artists who help uncover and us tell these important stories. If you appreciate our reporting  and support our mission, please consider donating to our Green Journalism Fund.
