Spire is an interdisciplinary journal, housed at the University of Maine, that seeks to widely increase engagement with current environmental issues by inviting voices from diverse fields to join in the global conversation about conservation and sustainability.
This online journal is run primarily by a team of graduate and undergraduate students at the University of Maine, with involvement and support from faculty and Advisory Board members. Spire’s mission is to galvanize action for conservation and sustainability by promoting impactful, awareness-raising dialogue.
