Rewilding Europe: Bringing Nature Back To Life

15 Years of Scottish Restoration

Protect the forest, it is the sure source of our wealth, the axe will ravish it quickly, but it grows slowly. Our actions will all be judged by our grandchildren. Let us now lend our efforts that they might someday praise us.
The Fugger Foundation, 1848

Fighting for forests means fighting for Finland. Three-quarters of Finland consists of woodland. What the forest looks like is what Finland looks like. Finland equals forest. If the forest is flayed, Finland is flayed.

Trees in Europe

  • More than two-fifths of Europe is tree-covered. Between 1990 and 2015, the area covered by forests and woodlands increased by 90,000 square kilometres – an area roughly the size of Portugal.

  • Forests cover almost a third of France, due in part to increased protection and a decline in farming. France is the fourth most forested country in Europe, after Sweden, Finland and Spain.

  • Due to strong protections against deforestation, trees cover around 70% of Sweden, similar to Finland.

  • Many of Europe’s forests are managed to produce wood to make paper, or timber for construction, or as fuel. As trees in those forests are felled, more are planted, and European plantations expand by an area the size of 1,500 soccer pitches every day.

Immigration – Urbanisation – Deforestation

“430 Million Migrants Can Be Placed in Sweden, According to EU-Funded Report”

Current Population of Sweden: 10 Million

By decimating its woodlands, Finland has created the grounds for prosperity. We can now thank prosperity for bringing us — among other things — two million cars, millions of glowing, electronic entertainment boxes, and many unneeded buildings to cover the green earth. Surplus wealth has led to gambling in the marketplace and rampant social injustice, whereby ‘the common people’ end up contributing to the construction of golf courses, five-star hotels, and holiday resorts, while fattening Swiss bank accounts. Besides, the people of wealthy countries are the most frustrated, unemployed, unhappy, suicidal, sedentary, worthless and aimless people in history. What a miserable exchange.

The craze for originality is a manifestation of decadence, and the decadence of Europe is the ascendancy of the Barbarian.

Regenerating a Native Forest

Spruce Fir forest, Germany
I love trees and I love that German characteristic that is love of forests and trees. That’s perfectly Germanic. I think it’s one of the reasons why I’m so much in love with the old Germany, the Germany of Hermann the Cheruscan.

But here the young trees grow thick and well because wolves walk in this forest. They’re deer-hunting wolves; canny wolves who know that fallen logs are the perfect place for an ambush. .. It’s dangerous for deer to be found around dead timber, so they avoid it. And the young trees can rise in safety with a wolf to thank for their straightness.

Converting Earth Into A Nature Reserve: Moving Industry Off-Planet

Our technologies can serve Life, and bring Nature back to disintegrated spaces. Given enough time, trees and roots and wildlife will tear down our rootless & rotten city mazes.

The egocentric human conceit of viewing mankind as apart from nature, instead of a part of nature, will be the one belief which ends this world.

Man-centric belief systems will rust away – they will be replaced with the Life-centric worldview. If man-centric does not give way to life-centric, earth will spin through the void for the rest of eternity empty of life. It is Life alone that all things must serve.

If a small team of men, armed with their drones, plant massive new forests in a matter of weeks, what good will this do? None! Without a new life-centric perception inside the minds of millions, any new droned forest will not last. If however, you replace the Anthropocentric Worldview in the minds of the masses it would become impossible to neglect the world’s habitat. The challenge facing any political movement today is to create the mental conditions for Love of Nature and Living in Alignment With Nature among the masses. The dominant Left Wing is in revolt against nature in every aspect.

Alignment With Nature, Environmental Conservatism, Creation & Health, and Right Wing Reality Acceptance will form the bedrock of the political movements of tomorrow.

Concrete Urban Detachment , the Delusional CO2 Panic Warming Death Cult, Degeneracy & Dysgenics, and Left Wing Reality Denial are the dying movements of today.

The more machines there are to replace men, the more men there will be in society who are nothing but machines.

LONDON

by William Blake

I wander thro’ each charter’d street,
Near where the charter’d Thames does flow. 
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.

In every cry of every Man,
In every Infants cry of fear,
In every voice: in every ban,
The mind-forg’d manacles I hear

How the Chimney-sweepers cry
Every blackning Church appalls, 
And the hapless Soldiers sigh
Runs in blood down Palace walls

But most thro’ midnight streets I hear
How the youthful Harlots curse
Blasts the new-born Infants tear 
And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse

A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror.
George Gurdjieff

AFTERWARDS

by Thomas Hardy

When the Present has latched its postern behind my tremulous stay,
And the May month flaps its glad green leaves like wings,
Delicate-filmed as new-spun silk, will the neighbours say,
“He was a man who used to notice such things”?

If it be in the dusk when, like an eyelid’s soundless blink,
The dewfall-hawk comes crossing the shades to alight
Upon the wind-warped upland thorn, a gazer may think,
“To him this must have been a familiar sight.”

If I pass during some nocturnal blackness, mothy and warm,
When the hedgehog travels furtively over the lawn,
One may say, “He strove that such innocent creatures should
come to no harm,
But he could do little for them; and now he is gone.”

If, when hearing that I have been stilled at last, they stand at
the door,
Watching the full-starred heavens that winter sees,
Will this thought rise on those who will meet my face no more,
“He was one who had an eye for such mysteries”?

And will any say when my bell of quittance is heard in the gloom,
And a crossing breeze cuts a pause in its outrollings,
Till they rise again, as they were a new bell’s boom,
“He hears it not now, but used to notice such things?”

And this is the great noontide: it is when man stands at the middle of his course between animal and Superman, and celebrates his journey to the evening as his highest hope, for it is the journey to a new morning.

Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Superman–a rope over an abyss. A dangerous crossing, a dangerous wayfaring, a dangerous looking-back, a dangerous trembling and halting. … I love him who liveth in order to know, and seeketh to know in order that the Superman may hereafter live. … I love him who laboureth and inventeth, that he may build the house for the Superman, and prepare for him earth, animal, and plant.
Friedrich Nietzsche
