Editorial Assignments

  • Our Land, Our Future

    Indonesia, home to the world's third-largest rainforest after Brazil and the Democratic Republic of Congo, is a nation of incredible natural wealth and biodiversity. This lush environment is not just a global treasure but a vital part of daily life for Indonesia's 50 to 70 million Indigenous Peoples, most of whom reside within these forests. For generations, these communities have sustainably managed their territories, preserving the delicate balance of the rainforest. However, their lands and way of life face severe threats from deforestation and extractive activities.

  • Healing Our Waters With Kelp | Photographers Without Borders

    “The day the Exxon Valdez oil spill happened was the day the water died, yet it was also the day that something inside of me was ignited,” says Dune. “I realized that this is not how it ends; this is how it began for me, for us. We had to dig down deep inside our beliefs and our dreams to face our fears, to find the courage and strength to step up and be louder than everything else – yet remain a voice of reason – while we take on the powers that be, [who] got us into this mess in the first place.”

  • A chronic polluter closes its doors. What’s next? | High Country News

    “If this happened in the wealthy part of town, it would’ve changed in 1985 instead of now.”

    While state health officials note that their health-assessment analyses can’t determine what caused cancers in West Eugene, residents like Arberry-Baribeault believe there’s a connection between the dogs, kids and adults who have gotten sick and the toxic chemicals surrounding them.

  • The internet’s funniest doctor is in on the joke | STAT & The Boston Journal

    Flanary, 36, has about 2.5 million subscribers across TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter, where his pointed satire of medicine’s many absurdities has ballooned into a cast of characters and a cottage industry. Flanary’s escalating popularity is all the more notable because his jokes, delivered in short skits, plumb the inane depths of American health care. The specificity is by design, Flanary said, giving his peers something to relate to and a growing audience of outsiders something to laugh at.

  • Tribal Members Use Totem Poles to Raise Alarm on Salmon Extinction | Earth Justice

    For more than two decades, Earthjustice has litigated and advocated for the federal government to remove the dams, which were built primarily to aid water transport. Today there are better alternatives and the cost the dams impose on salmon and Native communities is unsupportable. Their work is one part of a broader effort to restore the lower Snake River, healthy salmon, and orcas and achieve a measure of justice for Northwest tribes.

  • Oregon Legion post apologizes for past mistakes | American Legion

    At the Anderson Tribute Center, members of Post 22 gathered with the community to note discriminatory actions against Japanese American World War II veterans decades ago, apologizing for those actions and honoring the descendants of those discriminated against.

  • ‘It’s not medical’: Oregon wrestles with how to offer psychedelics outside the health care system | STAT & Boston Journal

    “In general, in the psychedelic world, I see a lack of awareness of the fact we’re still here and practicing our traditions,” said Keith Williams, advisory board member and director of research and social innovation at First Nations Technical Institute, an Indigenous-run higher education institution based on Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, Ontario. “These plant medicines are very much Indigenous medicines.”

  • Sowing Resistance, Nurturing Solutions | Thousand Currents

    “We are working to create a new society based on human rights, indivisible, and interrelated.”

    As Indigenous communities and smallholder farmers in Africa, and Kenya specifically, absorb the costs of the climate crisis, they work to resist, reform, and build alternatives to the nuanced crises which threaten their autonomy, food sovereignty, health and ecosystems.

  • Indigenous peoples fight schemes to buy and sell their land in the name of a climate change ‘solution.’ | The Progressive

    With a vacuum of federal leadership on climate change, California Governor Jerry Brown convened a first-of-its-kind Global Climate Action Summit in September to forge “deeper worldwide commitments” among global leaders. But the exclusive gathering failed to include those most impacted by the crisis, instead inviting some of the institutions most responsible for it.
