Buchzusammenfassung

George Monbiot is a trained zoologist, and has worked as a nature journalist as well as for environmentalist organizations. He has long been based in the United Kingdom and is a regular contributor to the Guardian. He has published several books, including Captive State and The Age of Consent.

The writer recounts his transformative journey from witnessing the environmental devastation of gold mining in Brazil to embracing the concept of rewilding as a solution to ecological stagnation. His experiences with the Yanomami tribe, Maasai culture, and archaeological discoveries reveal a deep fascination with humanity’s historical connection to nature and the lessons it offers. Rejecting romanticized notions of primitive life, he advocates for rewilding as a balanced approach to restoring ecosystems, emphasizing the reintroduction of species and the reduction of human interference. Through vivid examples, such as the ecological role of wild boar and the reintroduction of cranes, he illustrates how rewilding can revitalize landscapes and biodiversity. The text also explores humanity’s yearning for wildness, reflected in both the allure of untamed predators and the primal thrill of unpredictable encounters. These reflections set the stage for a deeper exploration of how rewilding can reshape our relationship with the natural world.
