#Introduction
I've been on Mastodon for quite some time now, but under another name. I started a new account because I decided to take a step back from world news, collapse, climate change, hunger, war, fascism and inequality.
In short less doom and gloom and a little bit of positive small scale projects that might also inspire or help others.

With this account I'll focus more on my day to day life, the things I do and make.

Of course I sometime still will post concerning subjects that provoke my rage or frustration. Sorry, it's not all moonshine and roses.

Having said that, I've a broad range of subjects that have my interest, so hopefully something useful will stick with you.

From my profile text:

#Collapse aware person, born @ 320 ppm CO2, world population 3.1 billion.

Fighting depression and #sadness by doing some positive and small scale things that might help people.

Too many interests, like:

PRO: #sharing #local #ecocentric
NO: #capitalism #states

I bookmarked this article for #SolarPunkSunday, but I noticed @hbrns had already posted it!

"#Rewilding an eco-centric approach to conservation that allows nature to dictate its own trajectory. Rewilding aims to restore natural processes after major disturbance, and create self-sustaining ecosystems with minimal intervention. Some criticisms portray it as land abandonment or anti-people. However, rewilding is gaining traction in Europe, as it is seen as a transformative way to conserve biodiversity."

#Rewilding: A meaningful response to tackling the #biodiversity crisis

The concept is an eco-centric approach which is nature-led and human-enabled

"Carver [professor of rewilding and wilderness science ] stresses that any approach needs to be 'context specific'. He is adamant that rewilding does bring something new to the party. “Ecological restoration is human-led, nature-enabled. Us deciding what we want nature to do … whereas rewilding is more of an eco-centric approach which is nature-led and human-enabled.'

"This eco-centric approach may be where rewilding succeeds in getting people’s backs up. The idea that nature should not be allowed to get ‘out of control’ or that land should ‘go wild’ has deep roots. Nevertheless, in challenging this mindset, rewilding has identified one of the leading drivers of biodiversity loss: humanity’s seeming inability to see healthy natural ecosystems as anything more than wasteland."
