Fellow Story
Josh Donlan quoted in opinion piece about demystifying the glorious past of nature
When the ecologist Josh Donlan proposed a somewhat similar "Pleistocene re-wilding" in America, many people told him it was preposterous. "A big criticism of this is 'You are playing god'," Donlan told Marris. "Well, I don't buy that. We are already playing god [in how we look after nature]." What is needed, he said, "is admitting to ourselves that we live in an intensely managed world."
