This IJW features an article by Stephen Mills on how the Sierra Club reaches “Beyond the Borders” with its new international programs in Southern Africa, Mexico and the Ashoka fellows program. In the international perspectives section, Stephen Siebert and Jill Belsky discuss the important role of local food production in livelihood security and why protected area managers need to be aware of these issues. In the news and announcements section, WILD announces its WILD Awards program, recognizing companies who use wild images in advertising and also support the protection of wild nature – in an way, paying royalties for the use of these images. Other topics include:

  • Land Inholdings Within Wilderness
  • Debate on Fixed Climbing Anchors in Wilderness
  • Spiritual Benefits of Wilderness
  • Wilderness in Poland & Indonesia
