For Part 5 of our Population/Human Rights Series we entertained the notion of rewilding with our guest Urban Scout and our co-director and co-host for the series, Dr. John Feeney. Remember, our approach is: many of the consequences of the large and assumed unsustainable human population manifest in what we - humans - experience and witness regarding our personal health and the health of many of the dynamically fragile ecosystems such as proportionally high rates of malnutrition, starvation, disease, war, species extinction, environmental degradation, etc. We ask the questions: to what extent are we responsible for other people's suffering (or prosperity)?; To what extent can we address the environmental degradation, energy crisis, food crisis, etc without address the fact that the human population has exceeded its carrying capacity?
