The Spirit of Rewilding

<p>This series of essays, conference papers and articles explores the boundary of conservation science and shamanism through the practice of rewilding. The book follows the author&#39;s seminal work <em>Beyond Conservation</em> (Earthscan, 2005) and <em>Rewilding </em>(Ethos,2011) and presses upon the boundary of conservation thinking, arguing that science-based approaches must be complemented by due respect for the indigenous and shamanic perceptions of nature. Taylor argues that modern scientific perceptions of nature represent a destructive paradigm and that a recovery of an original or indigenous consciousness long-damaged by repression in European history is required to reverse current trends of loss.</p>
