Humanity Rising Day 512: Personal Rewilding As A Precursor To Ecological Regeneration

Personal Rewilding As A Precursor To Ecological Regeneration In recent years, there has been a move to “rewild” landscapes, specifically parks,wildlife reserves and private land, through the re-introduction of long lost keystonespecies with the intention that this will help improve the resilience and diversity ofthose individual ecosystems, that it will work to regenerate them.  We can all agree that humanity cannot continue on its current trajectory, our position has become precarious, and our tending of the planet is sloppy at best. We are not only driving the sixth mass extinction event but endangering our own lives. In recent years, there has been a move to “rewild” landscapes, specifically parks, wildlife reserves, and private land, through the re-introduction of long-lost keystone species, with the intention that this will help improve the resilience and diversity of those individual ecosystems, that it will work to regenerate them.  We have evidence-backed proof that one such seemingly small action can do exactly that, and can have incredible and far-reaching benefits for the individual ecosystems in question. This is all great when the reintroduced species remain within the constraints of the park boundaries, but what happens when those wild beings (wolves, bears, beavers) stray outside of their protected zones? Humanity, we who un-wilded the landscape in the first place, have not changed and remain as top predator. Any wild pecies perceived as getting in the way of economics, of profit and “progress”, once more become prey. We find ourselves following the old story that got us into this mess in the first place. How do we address this? How do we allow new and more vigorous life to take hold, diversity to spread, strengthen and enrich all lives, rather than just those isolated islands of protected refuge?  Presenter Rachel Corby spent her early years in suburbia feeling that she did not fit in, herhappiest memories from those times were hiding out in the back garden playing withworms in the compost. After completing a degree in physical geography she went on totravel widely and it was then, during expanded immersions with land basedcommunities, that she finally began to know what home felt like. Her hosts blew hermind with the number of plants that they personally knew and their respectful,reciprocal, relationships with those plants. On returning to the UK Rachel pursued both asustainable land use and permaculture training. However, it was not until she cameacross the work of both Eliot Cowan and Stephen Harrod Buhner with regards tocommuning with the plant realms, that she really found the missing piece. She studiedwith both and has been guided by the plants themselves ever since. Rachel is the authorof four books and teaches, guides and mentors people on plant communication (plantwhispering) and in their own personal rewilding process.
