Theory
Rewilding is most associated with green anarchy and anarcho-primitivism or anti-civilization and post-civilization anarchism in general, though there is a large primitive living contingent who come at it from a more authoritarian direction.
Within a modern and scientific social context, rewilding entails both experiential and "book knowledge" to produce a community that is both respectful of individual liberties and beneficial to all involved, including all non-human species. Participants in such events and communities directly reap the benefits of the communities' actions and efforts. Instead of seeking to "return" to an earlier state of human existence or go "back to the land", rewilding seeks to take the experiences and time spent here in civilization and combine the lessons that have been learned from both the past and the present to create a more ideal society.
