What do we think of "rewilding"?
>Rewilding is a form of ecological restoration aimed at increasing biodiversity and restoring natural processes. It differs from other forms of ecological restoration in that rewilding aspires to reduce human influence on ecosystems. It is also distinct from other forms of restoration in that, while it places emphasis on recovering geographically specific sets of ecological interactions and functions that would have maintained ecosystems prior to human influence, rewilding is open to novel or emerging ecosystems which encompass new species and new interactions.
<A key feature of rewilding is its focus on replacing human interventions with natural processes. Rewilding enables the return of intact, large mammal assemblages, to promote the restoration of trophic networks.[4] This mechanism of rewilding is a process of restoring natural processes by introducing or re-introducing large mammals to promote resilient, self-regulating, and self-sustaining ecosystems. Large mammals can influence ecosystems by altering biogeochemical pathways as they contribute to unique ecological roles, they are landscape engineers that aid in shaping the structure and composition of natural habitats. Rewilding projects are often part of programs for habitat restoration and conservation biology, and should be based on sound socio-ecological theory and evidence.
Will socialism have to "Rewild" part of the planet to deal with climate changes?
Abolish suburbs and put everyone into high density cities or small towns in order to preserve natural environment?
>>2262455the lack of care for human beings is a result of inequality caused by capitalism not lack of growth. There is plenty to go around and has been for decades, world hunger can already be cured.
unless you're saying the problem is "lack of growth" like some sort of leftypol-neoliberal
>>2262445>Let us not, however, flatter ourselves overmuch on account of our human conquest over nature. For each such conquest takes its revenge on us. Each of them, it is true, has in the first place the consequences on which we counted, but in the second and third places it has quite different, unforeseen effects which only too often cancel out the first. The people who, in Mesopotamia, Greece, Asia Minor, and elsewhere, destroyed the forests to obtain cultivable land, never dreamed that they were laying the basis for the present devastated condition of these countries, by removing along with the forests the collecting centres and reservoirs of moisture. When, on the southern slopes of the mountains, the Italians of the Alps used up the pine forests so carefully cherished on the northern slopes, they had no inkling that by doing so they were cutting at the roots of the dairy industry in their region; they had still less inkling that they were thereby depriving their mountain springs of water for the greater part of the year, with the effect that these would be able to pour still more furious flood torrents on the plains during the rainy seasons. . . Thus at every step we are reminded that we by no means rule over nature like a conqueror over a foreign people, like someone standing outside nature – but that we, with flesh, blood, and brain, belong to nature, and exist in its midst, and that all our mastery of it consists in the fact that we have the advantage over all other beings of being able to know and correctly apply its laws. Engels, bitch
>>2262464short answer: probably not. You can't have degrowth or even alternate-growth with capitalism.
you can maybe do it with a heavily statist form of capitalism but it would require heavy redistribution of wealth downwards from the top to make it politically viable which the bourgeoise will not tolerate.
The best we can hope for is more pro density housing policies and try to stop them from selling off national parks/lands
>>2262466ok doomer
>>2262983>I dont think the idea of rewilding is literally rewilding the whole planetEven if it was, releasing a bunch of domesticated animals into the wild would in no way constitute rewilding. I'd say we'd just kill'em all but rewilding will take enough time that we can just let them live their usual lives while restricting their reproduction and call it a day
>just more of it than exists todaythe lowest of bars
