I've been in a whirlwind myself, so decided to extend this deadline out another 9 days, in case anyone else has been caught up in other things, but still wants time to organise a submission.

Wonderful article that asks should “rewilding” be seen as a state that a project can either attain or fall short of, a goal with clear criteria … or is [it] a process, an ongoing move toward a wilder, more self-willed state, that can… be implemented even under agrarian or “domestic” conditions?

Dispelling The Myth Of The Wild | NOEMA
Agriculture and rewilding, culture and nature, are often regarded as stark antitheses. New insights from ecology, however, suggest a path by which these seeming opposites may be reconciled.
