After this issue of Earth First!, the journal will be split into three publications: Earth First! Journal, New Earth First! Journal, and the Wild Earth Journal. John Davis, the current editor, explains the content and future plans for these journals.
In this issue of Earth First! Karen Pickett gives an update on the “break-up” within the Earth First! movement and the journal. In addition, Captain Paul Watson recounts his experiences on the North Pacific fishing grounds; George Wuerthner discusses various biodiversity issues; and Jamie Sayen calls for preservation of the Appalachian wilderness.
The journal’s staff have decided to tender their resignations by the end of the year. Thus, this issue of Earth First! is filled with discussions, rivalry, and answers to criticisms brought up at the RRR EF! Journal meeting (featured in the previous issue).
Earth First! is changing. The journal was greatly criticized by fellow EF!ers, for its editorial policies, at the “Round River Rendezvous” EF! Journal meeting. Consequently the editorial “Ramblings” is from now on eliminated, the letters section is longer, and action articles have a more prominent spot in the publication.

In this issue of Earth First! Journal Leslie Hemstreet contributes her thoughts on the active summer 1995 and encourages EF!’ers to continue with direct action despite their holidays.
