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.

The government’s obsession with controlling Mexican gray #wolves has once again uprooted a young wanderer, proving how far we still are from true recovery.

Danny Giovale shares the story behind his deeply personal and inspiring film “Designed by Disaster,” which details how a life-changing climbing accident in the Dolomites became the catalyst for his founding of #Kahtoola — a company that would go on to address critical safety gaps in mountain travel.

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.

The capitalist worldview, with its emphasis on infinite growth and the commodification of nature, is the primary antagonist to the rewilding vision. This perspective frames "freedom" as the liberty to exploit and consume, and views the natural world as a collection of resources to be owned and sold.
