**History**

The Ecological Citizen emerged from a collaboration between Patrick Curry, Joe Gray, and Ian Whyte. In early 2016, discussions among members of the Ecocentric Alliance and individuals involved in the environmental journal Wild Earth led to the decision to create a new publication with a global scope. The first issue was published in July 2017, filling a significant gap in the biocentric and ecocentric conservation movement. (ecologicalcitizen.net)

**Engagement and Contributions**

The journal encourages contributions from a diverse range of authors and perspectives. It is particularly keen to receive pieces with practical messages offering a 'way forward' and welcomes new natural and cultural narratives that awaken readers to Earth's sacredness and celebrate its abundant and diverse life.
