Families in the U.S. and around the world are having fewer children as people make profoundly different decisions about their lives. The Rewilding Institute's John Davis is one of the interviewees here:
Could smaller families 'rewild' the planet — and make humans happier?
Many economists and business leaders are raising alarms about falling birthrates. But advocates for lower human populations say a less crowded world will be happier and more sustainable.

It should go without saying that the first step in #rewilding is to keep what's left untouched. There's so little that hasn't been marred by humans left that there should be not one more inch of development on the relatively pristine wildands left. Not one more inch.
