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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRekindling Life\u003c\/em\u003e explores these themes and more, providing inspiration and practical guidance for reconnecting with and nurturing the forces of life that sustain our planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854807257324,"sku":"9781509549283","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/c5f4160a6a14d0253ed040c992236efd.jpg?v=1759264758","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/rekindling-life-by-baptiste-morizot-9781509549283","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
