EARTHKEEPING NEWS A NEWSLETTER OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COALITION FOR CHRISTIANITY AND ECOLOGY Volume Fourteen, Number Three May / June 2005 The Bioregional Movement by Gene Marshall Upper Blackland Prairie Bioregion, Eastern Texas Why has this movement been important to us? What have we learned from it? And what have we given to it? Bioregionalism has given us a way of seeing the Spirit dimension of the ecological crisis. The core theme of bioregionalism is that humans are always living in community with some natural region of plants, animals, and geological features. These natural regions are a truth given to us by the planet, not arbitrary boundaries like counties, provinces, and states. We believe that the bioregional movement is a significant part of the vanguard of history dedicated to overcoming the trends toward planetary devastation and social injustice.
