From Concrete to Wilderness with Jon Conradi

Land remembers. This is the heart of many rewilding activities happening across the globe, as people work to restore depleted ecosystems.

 

My guest today, Jon Conradi, founder of Wild Mosaic, is one of those people, working to rewild parts of the UK.

 

One of the important learnings from my conversation with Jon was that while human intervention in nature restoration is needed, we aren’t nature’s sole saviours. We also need to find ways of stepping back so that ecosystems can recover through their own ‘remembering’ of their natural state. 

 

What’s more, Jon spoke about how we are a part of this remembering; we are part of these ecosystems, not separate from them! Rewilding nature is also about rewilding ourselves, as of nature. Through storytelling and reconnecting with wildness, we can remember alongside and with the land. 

 

And so, join us for this week’s episode, and become a part of nature’s ‘remembering’. 

 

In this episode, we talk about:

• Reconnecting humans to ‘wildness’

• Wildlife and humans co-existing

• What it takes to rewild and restore land 

• The impacts of humans separating ourselves from nature

• Some of the legal constraints of land use

• Pigs!
