birthright of every person
Updated: Jun 1, 2019
I think a robust relationship with wild nature is the birthright of every person. And a lot of people today are getting short changed on their birthright through some variety or combination of: injustice, intimidation, or complacency.
Whether personally culpable or systemically obstructed, some of what needs to happen to help everyone claim their birthright:
need to demythologize wildness (to cut through the intimidation factor)
need to encourage imagination and play (to cut through the complacency factor)
need to proliferate simple opportunities for regular connection (to cut through injustice and lack of access)
What else?
