      June 16, 2020 By Katie Shepard Leave a Comment

      Essex resident John Davis, who has been a frequent contributor to the Essex Blog about local wildlife and published Split Rock Wildway: Scouting the Adirondack Park’s Most Diverse Wildlife Corridor a few years ago on Essex’s local wildlife corridor, is co-editor of the new book. Collaborating on the project is another Essex resident, Steven Kellogg, who created the painting used as the cover art for the anthology.

      About Rewilding Earth: Best of 2019

      Read on to learn more about the book, which you can purchase here.

      “Before the eruption of the worst pandemic in a century, Rewilding Earth was already working on its antidote. The cure for destruction and disease is restoration and rest, at all scales—rewilding our crowded and fragmented Earth, as we reduce our demands on the natural world. The coronavirus outbreak and the havoc it is causing are consequences of humanity’s unwinnable war against wild Nature, particularly our encroachment on species-rich habitats and our marketing of wild animals for food and luxury items. Wild Earth magazine in previous decades and now Rewilding Earth on-line (rewilding.org) and annually in print have been sharing the science, the inspiration, and the success stories that chart a path toward a wilder, healthier world for all: furred, feathered, finned, flowering, and our own kind (in more modest numbers). […]

      Edited by John Davis and Susan Morgan, and featuring articles and art by scores of leading advocates for the natural world, the elegant volume inspires from the start, with a joyful rewilding vision on the cover—featuring Puma, Wolf, and Salmon come home to the Champlain-Adirondack Biosphere Reserve—painted by esteemed children’s book illustrator and author Steven Kellogg. In Rewilding Earth are stories of heroes saving and restoring wild places and endangered species. In it are the ingredients for people adopting positive, healing roles in the desperate work of abating the extinction and climate crises and preventing future pandemics. In it are common-sense suggestions on how to peacefully relax human numbers (in terms of population and consumption) to levels that allow a renewed flourishing of biological diversity.” —Read the full press release from The Rewilding Institute here.
