Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting: - Hook interest is a bit borderline to me, since it is kind of a basic definition. Do you think you could provide an alternative hook, perhaps some more interesting struggles that came out of the movement?
I think ALT6 is fine. It's not confusing nor uninteresting. It contrasts global vs. local, and hints at the relation of environment and economic disadvantage. I looked into the cited source:
[1] and the hook is well sourced. The two cn issues (above) have been addressed. I think the nom is good to go.

Gollummm, thanks for expanding the article! I moved your two new subsections about "cult of the wilderness" and "gospel of eco-efficiency" into the Background section. I think the added context is helpful.

Sounds perfect to me!
On another note, I plan to add a new section called ''connections between various types of environmentalism'', in which discuss the links between the environmentalism of the poor and the other two currents. I also plan to expand a bit the examples given, if you agree

Sure! Just be conscious of staying on topic. One way to be sure of this is to make sure the sources you're using are specifically mentioning 'environmentalism of the poor'.

Thanks again for your continued work on the article! You may be getting into some
original research, because several of the new sources don't mention environmentalism of the poor. I think the relevance is pretty clear, and I'm not too worried about it. But I wanted to point you toward that policy in case you hadn't seen it. You may also be making a few statements that aren't explicitly supported by the sources, but are rather inferred from those sources. This would all be more important on a high-traffic or contentious page.oh, and it's a minor point, but references go
after punctuation.

Examples
Gollummm, if you're interested in adding more examples, consider putting some of them at
List of environmental conflicts. I've been working on that list slowly for a while, and it would be great to have help with it. I like the idea of having a much more complete list, but it seems like more than a few examples here might overwhelm the article? And there's a little less risk of
original research if we put the examples there, because "environmental conflict" is a more common framework than "environmentalism of the poor". (Though obviously related).

Hello! Thanks for your advie. I will add those examples to the list of environmental conflicts, and you are right on not overloading the page with too much examples of environmental conflicts. I thnk that now there are more than enough
