Practice Community Rewilding
How do we practice Community Rewilding?
Community Rewilding re-establishes the connection between the independence of people, the health of local environments, and accessibility to local natural resources. The product of the combination of Conservation Rewilding and Human Rewilding, Community Rewilding in practice works to rewild land, restoring nature, and rewild oneself, transforming people. This revolutionary practice actively counterbalances modern challenges by building back sovereignty and promoting localization.
