The topic of wolf reintroduction is one that's entering increasingly into the public mind and discourse in Ireland.

There is a growing desire in humanity to restore nature to full health and character as much as possible.

Obstacles to predator reintroduction mostly come in the form of farming, livestock (i.e. animal agriculture), lack of habitat, and public fear of predators in the landscape, fear for children's and pet's safety, etc.

I believe that we have far, far more to gain than we stand to lose by reintroducing predators to our landscapes.

Furthermore, and perhaps most insightful, I feel that many of the obstacles facing predator reintroduction are destined to dissolve, fade away, owing to changes occurring in human consciousness, and how those changes will inevitably be reflected in our outer world in due course.

What I am talking about mainly is the global shift towards plant-based eating.

This movement is set to undermine animal agriculture massively, is already doing so, and continue to do so at an accelerated pace.

Humanity is undergoing a mass spiritual awakening, part of which is the awakening of compassion, empathy, and a sense of 'Interbeing' - connection to all life on Earth.

All the main religions and spiritual movements speak out against the eating of animals, not without reason.

Humanity is gaining this understanding now and acting upon it.

I believe that farmers and farming will shift from livestock towards arable farming, fruits and vegetables, etc.

Far, far, far, less land is required to feed the planet when we are consuming fruits, vegetables, and crops, as most of the land used for growing crops today is used for feeding animals, so we can then eat their flesh.

As the world shifts towards plant-based eating, much land will be spared and rewilded, as we will need far less. There will also be l ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue6cur5L4jE
