Wilding by Isabella Tree
5.0
I loved this and it made me feel joy and rage in equal measure. The restoration of nature, the rate at which wildness returns if we let it, the richness and depth of the species that make up what is truly wild land, are astonishing.
They only serve to put into greater perspective the destruction we wreak on nature every day. How much we have lost even in my lifetime. I feel as though I want to grieve for what I’ve never seen, the abundance that should be there and must have been there generations ago but we have destroyed.
Humans are so arrogant.
The more I read, the more I hold patriarchal capitalism at fault for it all. When we will realise the planet is our mother?
Tread lightly.
Anyway. Here is a small, lyrical example of the difference that can be made when we let go of the rules, and see what happens.
