Why
we ask
In
June 2023, National Geographic laid off
all of its staff writers.
The
historic magazine with its iconic yellow border is
no longer sold on newsstands in the US. This is
all in the name of cost-cutting, to deliver more
profits into the pockets of the Walt Disney
Corporation, which acquired the magazine in
2019.
Some
days it feels like a miracle that Earth Island
Journal has managed to hold steady and cover
the environment for four decades without
pause.
To
be honest, asking for money isn’t fun. I’m a
journalist, not a fundraiser. However, as a
nonprofit newsroom, contributions from our readers
are an important funding source for us.
Your
contribution supports the future of investigative
reporting on climate change, land and wildlife
conservation, and environmental justice issues
worldwide.
Please
take a moment to join this mission by donating to
our Green Journalism Fund. Our secure online form
is quick and easy, and donating any amount makes a
big impact.
Gifts
of any size make a big difference! But
when you set up a monthly gift, your recurring
donation keeps science-based journalism accessible
to people all year long.
