In this issue: The End of Nature?

Issue #262 takes its title from Bill McKibben’s 1989 manifesto The End of Nature?, the first mainstream book about climate change which argued that nature's meaning was changing and challenged the collective illusion that nature was separate and permanent. This issue features the photographers who are working within nature’s fragile beauty and its weighty relationship to humanity in profoundly and urgent ways.

Highlights include Mitch Epstein's decades-long project documenting the United States’ imperiled old-growth forests, front lines of the climate crisis with César Rodríguez documenting the life and loss in Mexico's flooded fishing towns, the role of extractive capitalism in the mining history of American photography, and the Kurumba people of Tamil Nadi on the endangered ancestral forest they call home. Elsewhere in issue #262 you'll find are bygone utopias within North Africa’s desert oases, California’s radical back-to-the-land communities, the migration movements of painted lady butterflies, and the unfulfilled promise of the Earthrise image.
