Thanks to contributions from Journal readers like you, we are able to track down compelling stories rarely featured in corporate publications. You don’t often find stories like these in the mainstream press or even most environmental magazines: The fight to end the indiscriminate killing of countless wild animals for entertainment and money in the United States (which just received an honorable mention for outstanding feature from the Society for Environmental Journalists). Oil & gas exploration threatens the Okavango Delta, an amazingly biodiverse World Heritage Site, featuring cheetahs, rhinos, and other endangered animals. Up to 20 percent of Mexico City’s fresh produce comes from chinampas, regenerative floating gardens, where it is grown without gas-powered tools or electrical equipment. In India, residents restore ancient reservoirs that provide water access, along with opportunities for community building and cultural expression.
Your donations fund these stories. The impact is real — we could not do this work without you. There are many more such stories of incredible communities fighting to preserve the natural places that sustain us and the species that enrich our lives. They deserve to be told, too, so that more people can be inspired to stand up for their own communities. It takes the contributions of many to stand up against the powerful few. When you donate to Earth Island Journal, you are joining our community of passionate people committed to defending the Earth. Won't you join us?
