Back To Nature Big Time: Rewilding Revisited

Rewilding Institute

Urban/suburban sprawl puts human beings farther out into places once occupied primarily by wild animals. 

And there's a growing acknowledgement that we--the humans--have to work a little harder to stay in harmony with nature.  But proponents of "Re-Wilding" propose going a bit further... restoring large wild areas, populated by large predators. 

Rewilding Institute founder Dave Foreman visits the region this week, and pays a visit to the studio to explain the concepts he espouses.
