International Review of Environmental History is published with the support of the Centre for Environmental History, The Australian National University, whose director, Associate Professor Ruth Morgan, has enthusiastically backed this venture from the outset, just as her predecessor, Professor Emeritus Tom Griffiths, did. In 2013, Professor Bruce Clarkson, formerly director of the Environmental Research Institute, University of Waikato, granted James the time to devote to planning and preparing the journal by giving me a teaching buy-out. The journal was initially funded by the University of Waikato from 2015 to 2016. From 2017 to 2020, the journal was funded by Victoria University of Wellington. From 2022, we acknowledge the generosity of an anonymous donor for funding the copyediting of the International Review of Environmental History as an interim measure. We also acknowledge the support of the Social Sciences Editorial Board of ANU Press. We are indebted to the support of so many in making this publication possible.
