The Wild Imperative: Examining arguments for rewilding in the Anthropocene
Rewilding has grown into a major land-use strategy now being adopted by governments and environmental NGOs and often wealthy individuals. Increasingly it is presented as the best or only option to address major Anthropocene challenges, yet critiques of the concept and practice remain common. This review brings together political ecology, archaeology, history, art, literature and popular non-fiction illustrating how rewilding, knowingly or not, dr…

The Endling Taxidermy of Lonesome George: Iconographies of Extinction at the End of the Line
Bringing greater visibility to the emerging category of endling taxidermy, this article traces the histories of taxidermic preservations and biotechnological interventions that lead up to, and follow, the extinction of the Pinta Island tortoise. As the last of the line, Lonesome George (the last individual of the Pinta Island species) is an endling that has been rendered hypervisible in the public imagination as an icon of conservation. Yet the t…
Necro-Eco: The Ecology of Death in Jim Crace's Being Dead
This essay reads the decomposition of the human corpse in Jim Crace's novel Being Dead as an expression of active, vital, agential, and transformative inter-species interaction. Affirming the creative possibilities of putrefaction, my analysis of Crace's necro-ecological narrative emphasizes the vitality of death through the entangled interactions of organisms both human and non-human, living and dead
