🐒 Today, we mark the passing of #JaneGoodall — not just an eminent primatologist, but a voice for all life. As an early signatory to the Statement of Ecocentrism, she stood for nature’s intrinsic value, beyond its use to humans. 💚 ecologicalcitizen.net/statement-of... (Image: Jeekc, CC BY 2.5)

🙏 🌎 Critiquing #humansupremacy isn’t #misanthropy. Eileen's new #EarthTongues essay argues that a god-complex — casting humans as rulers over life — drives ecological ruin through profanation and nihilation. #TrueHumanity begins by renouncing dominion. blog.ecologicalcitizen.net/2025/07/11/r...

Today marks #WorldPopulationDay, a day that reminds us of the urgent need to scale back the devastating impact of our growing numbers on the planet. We are committed to reclaiming the population discussion as central to feminism, human rights, animal protection, and ecology.

We believe that #AI is energy-intensive, ecologically destructive, anthropocentric in purpose, represents a false solution to ecological problems, and causes alienation in human-nature relationships. That's why we're now using #NotbyAI at #EarthTongues. Not by AI website: notbyai.fyi

🌱 Population Balance (@popnbalance.bsky.social) is one of the few voices saying it plainly: a smaller human footprint is the only path to lasting ecological balance. #Pronatalism #EcologicalJustice #Childfree Thank you for hosting Joe's story. Hear it below:

🌱 📗 🤝 We’re thrilled to partner with the Elite Centre for Understanding Human Relationships with the Environment (CUHRE). Their goal is to explore how education shapes citizens who are able to imagine futures and create change rather than simply knowing facts. www.sdu.dk/en/forskning...

🦉 William Lynn condemns the culling of 500k #BarredOwls to 'save' #SpottedOwls as a moral atrocity. The plan is unscientific, ethically bankrupt, and fails to address root causes like #HabitatLoss and #Climate change. ecologicalcitizen.net/pdfs/epub-13... Image credit: Mdf (CC BY-SA 3.0)

Devoted Earth friend & a co-editor of @ecologicalcitizen.bsky.social Ian Whyte has passed away this Thursday. His path to ecocentrism has been informed by a lifelong passion for all the wild and he has had a long time interest in wild flowers, birds, moths, butterflies, turtles & bumblebees. RIP

We are deeply saddened to announce the recent passing of Ian Whyte, devoted naturalist and co-founder of The Ecological Citizen. Read the story of Ian's path to ecocentrism here: ecologicalcitizen.net/pdfs/v01sa-0... We will be dedicating tributes to Ian in the time to come.

🌲 🛜 🏙️ Taylor Hood expands on Han's critique of our obsession with digital 'non-things', placing the book deeper into the discourse on #enchantment. He argues that cultivating #ecocentrism involves restoring ties to the things that give life meaning. www.ecologicalcitizen.net/pdfs/epub-13...

🏜️ Alex Kellgreen reflects on #EdwardAbbey's influential work, highlighting its vivid prose and call to decentre humanity in favour of wild #nature. Despite Abbey's personal flaws, Kellgreen emphasizes the enduring value of his #ecocentric perspective. www.ecologicalcitizen.net/pdfs/epub-13...

Great to see new reports/studies flagging cobenefits of nature restoration such as peace (below) & "a sense of identity or well-being + spiritual experiences" phys.org/news/2025-01..., but these are still very anthropocentric. It needs doing also for the sake of our wider kin, the more-than-humans!

This is excellent news! Thanks for continuing to make rewilding a reality.
