Intended as yet another instrument for attacking anthropocentric ideologies and voracious agricultural/industrial civilizations, the journal Wild Earth was published between 1991–2004.
For those of you who remember Wild Earth, it was probably one the most beautiful publications ever produced with a mix of from the scientific to the philosophical and everything in between.
For those of you unfamiliar with Wild Earth or are too young to have been around when it was being published I highly recommend getting in the habit of reading an issue of Wild Earth from time to time for its inspiration, education and insights.
Much of the material in the journal is as applicable, or even more so, than when it was originally published.
I ‘grew up’ reading Wild Earth and it was a foundation for my conservation ethic and my work over the last quarter of a century.
Taking some time to go back to the roots of conservation is well worth it, especially in light of the present dominance within the conservation world of the anthropocentric view of conservation that has infected so much of conservation and conservation organizations today.
