On Earth Day 2023 we will have been publishing the Environment page on Jadaliyya for three years!

Check out our 2nd anniversary post recapping our highlights from 2022. 

We accept submissions of short essays, photo essays, nominations for new books to be profiled, and more on a rolling basis at environment at jadaliyya dot com 

I published a piece with our initial page launch:
