In this issue of Earth First! Journal Lacey Phillabaum tells the story of when the Two Elk Lodge (Vail Ski Resort, Colorado)  was burnt down for the sake of preserving ancient forests. Moreover, Pori Kwa Milele reports from the actions against illegal development in Nairobi’s Karura Forests, and Ben White discusses the Makah whale hunt.  

Precisely because it was such a sensational public denial of the legitimacy of authority and the privilege of power, the Vail bonfire was not a respectable thing to do, granted. But let’s face it folks, Earth First! is an ecological resistance movement that has come to engender beautiful radical and revolutionary philosophies—not respectable ones.
