Isabella tree books6/27/2023 The land holds on to heavy rains, preventing flooding downstream, and our wetlands, vegetation and the soil itself suck carbon from the atmosphere. Our depleted soil has restored itself, and now acts like a filter, purifying run-off from the polluted land around us. In less than twenty years we’ve watched wildlife pour back onto our land, drawn like a magnet to rebounding natural resources. Hope is something my husband and I found after embarking on our rewilding project in West Sussex, in southern England. Only by understanding what is happening can we embrace the thought of change and only by learning from those who are providing solutions can we develop a sense that salvation is possible. But, like all fears, the solution is to face the anxiety head-on. It is easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless. During the course of this issue’s production, some of our writers found themselves besieged by droughts or storms, some were even forced to flee their homes due to wildfires and floods. Wildfires raging, ice caps melting, oceans warming, species on the brink of extinction, people displaced by natural disasters. Every day we wake up to news of environmental catastrophe.
