Imagine
Issue 349 • March/April 2025
In this issue we celebrate Rewilding with a Resurgence-style reflection of how Nature will quickly restore itself given a chance and how rewilding and renaturing both offer that chance.
In our themed section we report on Scotland’s steps to become the world’s first rewilded nation, and we introduce other ideas about the rewilding of ocean, forest and field, and even the soundscape outside your door!
In our Slow Readwe consider how we can rewild the way we think, with an article by Tom Mansfield, creator of the Cards for Life system.We also introduce The Planetary Democrats campaigning for Nature to be given a vote in political processes, and we mark International Women’s Day with an article featuring Indigenous women activists who explain how, in their culture, the Amazon forest is female.
In our Arts section we preview SOIL: The World at Our Feet– an exhibition at Somerset House in London showcasing the work of more than 40artists digging deep to discover the wonders of the earth beneath our feet, and our poetry editors introduce the work of S.C. Flynn, whose poems are often about species extinction and the need for us all to protect the planet we love.
