This book explores attitudes and strategies towards the return of
the wild in times of ecological crisis, focusing on wolves in
Europe. The contributions from a variety of disciplines discuss
human encounters with wolves, engaging with traditional narratives
and contemporary conflicts. Covering a range of geographical areas,
the case studies featured demonstrate the tremendous impact of the
return of the wolf in European societies. Wolves are a keystone
species that exemplify humanity's relation to what is called nature
and their return generates powerful debates about what 'nature'
actually is and how much it is needed or should be permitted to
exist. The book considers the return of the wild as a catalyst for
fundamental socio-biological changes of the world within human
societies, and the various responses of humans to wolves
demonstrate both our potential and limitations when it comes to
multispecies communities and negotiating societal change. Managing
the Return of the Wild will be relevant to a broad audience
interested in discussions of social and ecological conflict today,
including scholars from multispecies studies and diverse
disciplines such as biology, forestry management and folklore
studies.
