Article Draft
I plan on adding to the article for Environmental Studies, as it's articles explaining the history of the subject is brief. Other content that I plan to add to this article will be important events that are relevent to the field of environmental studies.

Lead
Environmental Studies is the academic practice of studying the interactions between humans and the environment. The subject of Environmental Studies became more commonplace in Universities and other learning institutions in the 1950's. Since this time, Environmental Studies is a common subject at most Universities, and continues to expand, along with its related subjects.

Collaborations with other organizations
The Environmental Studies Association of Canada (ESAC) was established in 1993 "to further research and teaching activities in areas related to environmental studies in Canada". ESAC was officially integrated in 1994, and the first convention for ESAC was held at the Learned Societies Conference in Calgary the same year. ESAC's magazine, A\J: Alternatives Journal was first published by Robert A. Paehlke on 4 July 1971.

In 2008, The Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences (AESS) was founded as the first professional association in the interdisciplinary field of environmental studies in the United States. The AESS is also the publisher for the Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences (JESS), which aims to allow researchers in various disciplinarians related to environmental sciences to have base for researchers to use and publish new information related to environmental studies. In 2010, the National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) agreed to advise and support the Association. In March of 2011, the Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences commenced publication.

Environmental Studies in U.S. Universities

The University of California-Berkely has awarded the most degrees in environmental studies for U.S. universities, with 409 degrees awarded in 2019. The Universities in the United States that have the highest percentage of degrees awarded is Antioch University-New England, where nearly 35% of degrees awarded in 2019 were in environmental studies.
