Dear
friend of the Journal,
Today, Earth Island Journal enters the home stretch of our year-end member drive. To be honest, asking for money isn’t fun. I’m a journalist, not a fundraiser or salesperson. However, for a nonprofit newsroom, contributions from our readers support the hard work of finding and reporting stories — and making those stories available to everyone, without a paywall.
Earth Island Journal doesn’t have a paywall because our mission is to inform, educate, and inspire action. If you believe in the work we do, please make a tax-deductible, year-end donation to our Green Journalism Fund.

Over these last few years, we’ve seen how fragile democracy is, and how cronyism shamelessly exploits the system to benefit the few to the detriment of many. However, we’ve also seen that one of our most effective weapons against powerful interests is the strength of community.
In this challenging year, Earth Island Journal covered some incredible stories from across the world about the power of community, including stories about:.
- The people of several small towns and villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina who are fighting to protect some of Europe’s last remaining wild rivers from a boom in small hydropower projects.
- Local Indigenous communities in Malaysian Borneo, who have managed to safeguard their land from logging despite corporate intimidation.
- Residents of Spain’s Valdeflores Valley, who are resisting plans for a lithium mine in the area.
When you support Earth Island Journal, you are joining our small community, one that boasts a big voice.
More importantly, your donations fund the reporting on incredible communities fighting to preserve the natural places that sustain us and the species that enrich our lives. It takes the contributions of many to stand up against the powerful few.
We'd love to have you in our community. Won't you join us?
