The aboriginal animism was more ecological
The re-wilding “project” is actually the deepest aspiration behind the more-general “greening of society” practical endeavor. From where we are now (industrial modernity) it’s just a dream for solace on a rainy day.
Related to it, an interesting espoused idea is that one of the worst cultural alterations that ever happened, a root cause of the ideology that has led us in a wrong direction for millennia, was the transition from aboriginal animist spirituality toward the modern sky-god religions:
“. . . we blew it when we took the gods out of nature and made them into a big anthropomorphic being that’s up in the sky somewhere . . . we took the local deities away from particular places” as part of a misguided process of losing our grounding in particular places.
