In this issue of Earth First!, Maria Quintana gives an update on the struggles to protect the island Soldier Key in Biscayne National Park, Florida. In addition, Joanne Duffy calls for attention to the endangered longleaf pine forests and Sherman’s fox squirrels, and Mitch Friedman discusses the dynamic face of activism.
But I still see the role of conservationists (including myself) as the articulators of and fighters for a greater vision: The vision that the natural world has meaning beyond that which humans gave it, and direction more important than that in which humans would steer. I stand for wild.
