Fritz Haeg: Animal Estates
His reading tip: Tending the Wild, by Kat Anderson; early Westerners thought they entered a kind of lazy easygoing landscape, but it was very highly tended, with ritualised Seasonal foraging, burning etc. The domesticated and the wild were not opposites.
Fritz proposes the word Nature should be gotten rid off, whenever you need to use it, check why you need it. The fact that we have a word for nature signifies that we make a separation, it signifies a problem.
These are not commercial or advocacy projects, they just look like them if they need to. At the core humor functions as a release to avoid becoming: we're all screwed - let's party on / if we only do this, we can save the world.
Our make up as a species is about getting away from preditors and maximising calories, we need quite the opposite right now.
There are some animals we love to live with, but some others we don't, why? This is the starting idea for animal estates.
50% of wildlife lives in and on dead trees, in cities they are removed right away.
Our cities are to cleaned up.
Our buildings are to closed up.
