Dear
Vladimir,
I’ve
been thinking a lot about perseverance. Waves of layoffs
and shutdowns continue to hit media outlets covering the
issues that inform our democracy. Environmental coverage
is often the first to get axed in the downsizing at
large publishers.
That
means mainstream publications with big budgets often
neglect the many threats facing our living world.
Meanwhile, Earth Island Journal has
been tirelessly sounding the alarm.
In
the past year, we’ve run hard-hitting features and
reports corporate media isn’t interested in. These
include, reports about:
-
The
campaign to end wildlife killing contests in the
United States that lead to the massacre of tens of
thousands of coyotes, bobcats, foxes, and other
animals for prize money every year.
-
The
myriad threats facing Brazil’s incredibly biodiverse
Pantanal region, the world’s best jaguar
habitat.
-
A
massive oil drilling project that endangers Africa’s
Okavango Delta and local Indigenous
communities.
Earth
Island Journal is driven by purpose, not profit.
As a nonprofit, we are accountable only to our
readers. That’s why I am asking you to make a gift to
the Green Journalism Fund today.
