Alternatives Journal is an independent Canadian
environmental magazine that has been published since 1971. Our
aim is to promote understanding and dialogue among scholars, professionals,
activists, students and other citizens concerned about environmental
affairs, and in particular the social and political dimensions
of the environmental crisis. Each quarterly issue contains feature
articles along with news reports, commentaries and reviews covering
a broad range of concerns, controversies and initiatives centred
on environmental thought, policy and action.
The purpose of the Canadian Botanical Conservation
Network is to aid Canadian botanical gardens, arboreta, industries,
universities, government agencies and the general public to: exchange
ideas and information; coordinate conservation efforts; and participate
in conservation programs.
The Canadian Nature Federation
is a non-profit conservation organization with over 40,000 supporters
and a network of more than 100 affiliated naturalist groups. The
CNF's mission is to protect nature, its diversity and the processes
that sustain it . CNF publishes a magazine,
entitled Nature Canada and a newsletter, Nature Matters. CNF organizes
conservation programs and volunteer monitoring projects.
