environmentalism

Wild Earth 10, no. 1, presents essays on the mission, vision, and purpose of “The Wildlands Project,” which aims “to design and implement systems of protected natural areas/wildlands networks across the continent.”

Wild Earth 10, no. 3 features essays on “little things”: the microbial microcosm, forgotten pollinators like birds and bats, the American burying beetle, and butterflies.

Wild Earth 10, no. 4 celebrates the journal’s 10-year anniversary with a retrospective of past highlights and many new contributions.

Wild Earth 10, no. 2 is dedicated to US national parks and protected areas. It also features articles by John Muir on anthropocentrism and James Morton Turner on early American environmentalism.

Wild Earth 9, no. 4 features visionary essays that reimagine the future. Topics include abolitionism and preservationism, the environment and the US constitution, and the Buffalo Commons.

Wild Earth 9, no. 3 celebrates Aldo Leopold’s legacy. Also in this issue are reports on the Loomis Forest Wildlands, the Southern Rockies and the Grand Canyon ecoregion, and indigenous knowledge and conservation policy in Papua New Guinea.

In this first issue of the ALARM to be widely circulated, the editors explain their goals for the publication. Michael Vernon discusses environmental movements, property rights, and the Maine Conservation Rights Institute; Michaela de Liuda calls for attention to biodiversity and paganism; the editors present ALARM’s first “It’s All Bullshit” award; and EF!/Abenaki updates readers on their struggle to stop industrial fishing in the Abenaki River.

In this issue of the ALARM, the editors explain the history of its name. Maine EF! brings up the subject of political violence against activists and tells the story of police brutality that occured against Mount Blue activists; Anne Petermann reports from the Earth First! invasion of the Conservation Congress in Bristol, Vermont; and Helkat welcomes new voices to the EF! movement.

With issue 7, the ALARM changes its subtitle from “a voice of northeast Earth First!” to “a voice of revolutionary ecology” to reflect the feeling of the group Biodiversity Liberation Front EF! that it was too great a responsibility for one group to represent the entire region. While they will continue to report about EF! actions, they wish to draw on a revolutionary ecology perspective to form a more broadly based movement.

In this issue of the ALARM includes a report on a Native Forest Network (NFN) activist’s arrest for protesting the destruction of roadless areas by the U.S. Forest Service in Idaho; a report of environmental devastation resulting from international initiatives such as toxic waste trade in Somalia; local news of a golf course threatening to expand into sacred Mohawk burial grounds; and a report on the economic development standoff of the Paugeesukq Nation and the state of Connecticut. Fiery Virus continues the argument against biotechnology from the previous issue. Orin Langelle and Anne Petermann present a thorough investigation of the situation in James and Hudson Bay, Northern Quebec, where people fight against Hydro-Quebec.
