Support High-Quality Environmental Journalism

Read the Fall 2014 appeal letter from our Journal editor Jason Mark about how Earth Island Journal is helping to keep important environmental issues on the public’s radar screen.

We’re doing the kind of on-the-ground reporting that’s essential for giving citizens and policy makers the information they need to protect the environment.

When you make a donation to Earth Island Journal, you’re underwriting the kind of in-depth, thoughtful, and courageous journalism that has become so rare in an era of media retrenchment.

Please make a donation today so that we can continue our tradition of bold reporting on the environment.
