What if we don’t need to RE-wild* because we’ve been wild all along? What if we just need to prioritize the wild within and around us?
What if we don’t need to RE-connect to nature, but instead better value and prioritize our enduring and existing relationship with nature?
*I mean rewilding in the personal, metaphorical sense- not the conservation/ecological restoration approach also known as trophic rewilding.
These are both delightful books, with lots of great information and inspiration. I simply wonder if the term ‘rewilding’ is the most effective way to frame these arguments.
I am a self-proclaimed 'almost anthropologist' because I KIND OF read, think, and write like an anthropologist...but not quite. I love anthropology and have two degrees in it, but I am also interested in wildlife conservation, religion, writing, environmental education, poetry, children's literature, etc. Sometimes my perspective tends more toward the spiritual/creative realm than the scientific. You have been warned! :)
