What Nature Can Accomplish if We Just Let It Take Its Course
• Effective species conservation: networking stepping-stone biotopes for birds, insects and amphibians
• Strategic rewilding: establishing vigorous habitats through natural self-regulation
• Science and everyday practice: best-practice examples that inspire courage and offer hope
• Wellness: experiencing nature, reducing stress and rediscovering native species diversity
“Mini-wilderness” begins in your head. If you can free yourself from the compulsion to submit to the notions of order held by society, you can experience a slower pace of life and discover beauty. Any kind of plant community that looks unmaintained at first glance meets the requirement for a “mini-wilderness”: a biological community within a habitat that is subject to minimal human interference. The more areas become unattractive or uninhabitable for species, the more important the remaining areas become.
