In this issue of Earth First! “Slugthang” reports on the effort against the extinction of salmon on the Columbia River. In addition, Erik Ryberg discusses civil disobedience, Leslie Lyon stresses the lessons drawn from the Utah Wilderness Battle, and Christi Stevens analyzes the effects of human overpopulation.
"We need to remember ourselves in the world, and we remember that as beset as the wilderness is, it is not a resource or part of our country or our culture, but rather that all we are is part of it. We are within the wild world even now, wherever we may be. We’d like Earth First! to prod that memory, and to serve as a tool for wiping away all the excrement that civilization has piled around us."
