** Coming in the Summer Issue:
------------------------------------------------------------
A deeply reported feature on a proposed mine at Nevada’s Thacker Pass, the site of the country’s largest known lithium deposit, and a grassroots campaign to stop it that questions the need for “sacrifice zones” in our efforts to mitigate climate change.

An on-the-ground report about several First Nations that have taken caribou conservation into their own hands and are helping bring the endangered ungulate back from the brink of extinction.

A thought-provoking story about what conservationists can do to help the tufted puffin, a seabird that spends as little time within sight of humans as it can.
Plus also:
* A thoughtful conversation with grassroots activist Hilton Kelley on his 20-plus years of work on behalf of residents in Port Arthur, Texas, a Gulf Coast town downwind of every coastal refinery in the state.
* A powerful personal essay by Union of Concerned Scientists' Jacob Carter about how science offered him an escape from his hardscrabble life in suburban Arkansas.

Subscriptions from readers like you helps support the type of bold, independent reporting you'll find in the upcoming issue. Thank you for reading the Earth Island Journal newsletter. I appreciate your time and perspective.
