Go Wilson. I agree with him completely. While urban nature must be pursued, we must also never give up on the magnificent wild places left on this earth. The Cook County Forest Preserves of Chicago will get a great facelift from current plans for its future. Our family will utilize and cherish its nature. But I do not want that to be what our grandchildren think of as the best they can do.
When I read the book Emma Marris worte, Rambunctious Garden: Saving Nature in a Post-Wild World I felt angry at her for way she spoke about nature and man. The modern Darwin Quote:

I can't seem to get the "thread starter" to come up, but here is an article featuring Wilson's (and others') work in the current Smithsonian: History, Travel, Arts, Science, People, Places | Smithsonian
Who would have expected a millionaire to open a Center for Biophilia in north Florida?

I don't have the energy to do much actual rewilding, but my hope is that even our backyard pollinator patches can make a difference for the small critters.
