Synopsis

Rewilding is restoring natural processes and species, then stepping back so that nature can express its own will. In essence, rewilding means giving the land back to wildlife and wildlife back to the land.

Recalling the late great Wild Earth journal, this provocative anthology showcases the most notable original articles and art published by Rewilding Earth (rewilding.org) in 2019. Rewilding Earth is an inspiring, informative, and user-friendly manual for how to protect and restore wild places and their residents.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

John Davis is executive director of The Rewilding Institute and editor of Rewilding Earth. He rounds out his living with conservation field work, particularly within New York's Adirondack Park, where he lives. John serves on boards of RESTORE: The North Woods, Eddy Foundation, Champlain Area Trails, Cougar Rewilding Foundation, and Algonquin to Adirondack (A2A) Conservation Collaborative. In 2011, John completed TrekEast, a 7600-mile muscle-powered exploration of wilder parts of the eastern United States and southeastern Canada-sponsored by Wildlands Network and following lines suggested in Dave Foreman's book Rewilding North America-to promote restoration and protection of an Eastern Wildway. His book about that adventure, Big, Wild, and Connected: Scouting an Eastern Wildway from Florida to Quebec, was published by Island Press. In 2013, John trekked from Sonora, Mexico, north along the Spine of the Continent as far as southern British Columbia, Canada, again ground-truthing Rewilding North America and promoting habitat connections, big wild cores, and apex predators. This second continental wildways trek is the subject of the film Born to Rewild.

Susan Morgan studied Southwest archaeology and holds degrees in English and environmental studies. In 1967 she began as Director of Education for The Wilderness Society where she worked for over ten years and has subsequently worked in education and outreach positions with wilderness, wildlands, and public lands conservation organizations. She is currently president of The Rewilding Institute and senior editor of Rewilding Earth.
