December 23, 2021

Wild Lands Advocate article in memoriam of Valerium Geist.

Click here for a pdf version of the article.

We are fortunate to be able to publish two tributes to Dr. Valerius Geist who passed away earlier this year, one by AWA’s Vivian Pharis and one by Shane Mahoney, the CEO of Conservation Visions and the Deputy Chair of the IUCN’s Sustainable Use and Livelihoods Specialist Group. Dr. Geist received a Wilderness Defenders Award in 2004 and gave AWA’s annual lecture in that same year.

More logging appeared imminent because vandalized landscapes, just like homes with broken windows, tend to invite more abuse.” Andrew Nikiforuk. This tells it all, whether oil and gas, logging, OHVs etc. already exist, then it seems governments are gung ho to keep going and open it all up to more activity and abuse. . . and why we need AWA more than ever.
