#6We are nature. The separation between humanity and nature is a false one, that works against conservation efforts.
I like the idea of rewilding because it forces us to see ourselves as part of a large natural system - which is what we are - and helps grow appreciation for that system.
But until there is a way for recognition of that system to become more profitable than "othering" nature - polluting the environment, destroying parts of that system - or regulation prevents that othering, it can be depressingly isolating.

The problem lies in the idea that humans can own land. Hah. We're so dumb. We cannot "own" land.
