As the environmental crisis accelerates, we can easily feel
overwhelmed, but our feeling of powerlessness is partly due to a
misunderstanding of the natural world. We tend to think of nature
as a cathedral on fire, like Notre Dame engulfed in flames. But the
living world is not a cathedral on fire - if it were, the battle
would already be lost. The living world is itself a fire that
reconstitutes itself continuously and creates countless forms of
life as soon as we leave it the space and time to do so. So the
problem we face today is not to stop the fire - rather, it is how
to defend and rekindle the embers of life that are all around us.
Drawing lessons from conservationist initiatives aimed at allowing
the natural forces of forests to take over again through a process
of free evolution, and from agro-ecological farming initiatives
which make lands hospitable for wildlife, Baptiste Morizot shows
how specific actions can release the prodigality of life, its
jungle-like power to regenerate itself. Actions like these are
possible because the power of the living world lies in its
abundance and creativity: the biosphere is a living fire that
covers the earth, and it can always start up again if we know how
to defend and kindle its embers.
