In this issue of Earth First! Journal Patrick Mitchell sheds light on the Endangered Species Act and the Californa gnatcatcher’s delisting from “threatened” status. In addition, Orin Langelle discusses revolutionary ecology, and Kieran Suckling calls for attention to the Queen Charlotte goshawk.

I had come to write an Endangered Species Act petition to protect the goshawk. I fell in love, got arrested, lost my backpack, and nearly pitched of a cliff, but did not find any goshawks. What I did find was a vast wilderness threatened by the incredibly mismanaged Tongass National Forest.
