In this issue of Earth First!, Texas EF!’ers give an update on their fight for protecting pine beetles, pecans, and rivers; Holly Jensen discusses the fight for Icelandic whales; George Wuerthner is exploring the importance of the bioregional approach to designate wilderness areas; and Eric Holle debates the relocation of the Navajo-Hopi.
"Most of the indigenous peoples of the world, before their cultures were so heavily impacted by contact with European ”civilization,” lived in tune with Earth. The concepts of parks or wilderness areas were foreign and unnecessary because they lived in harmony with their environment, and wild nature was a part of their daily existence. Native people no more needed National Parks than eagles need air traffic control."
— Eric Holle
