This blog was launched on the occasion of the 50th Earth Day (22 April 2020) by some of the Editors of The Ecological Citizen, which is a peer-reviewed ecocentric journal.

The blog is named after the small fungi who emerge, tongue-like, from forest floors and grasslands. It is not too much of a leap of imagination to see the tongues as representing the Earth’s efforts to protest against the manifold tragedies being inflicted on her life forms and systems by the rapacious, and sometimes cruel, behaviour of modern human societies.

We hope you find enjoyment and value in the posts that you read here, and, if you do, then we would be very grateful if you could spread the word.
