@Rokewood And I should really point to Hugh Bowden’s brilliant book on ancient mystery religions, which impressed me so much & framed it so interestingly

[Cal Flyn @calflyn]

@Rokewood That’s a very kind thing to say. Thank you

[El Malpensante @malpensante]

Con la Edición Especial Verde 2025, El Malpensante abre un espacio para pensar la naturaleza no solo como escenario, sino como interrogante estético, cultural y vital. Lo esperamos en el Lanzamiento, uno de los espacios que como animalejos en vía de extinción resisten, para pensar la Tierra.

“Es cierto que aquí no somos catastrofistas, pero sí tenemos que afirmar lo siguiente con todas las letras: la Tierra nos sigue devolviendo con sargazos, sequías y ciclones las estocadas que propinamos sobre su lomo azul". Lea el texto de presentación del número en: https://t.co/6QUM8LgUUu

Este doble número (272–273) reúne voces que exploran la relación entre literatura, arte, filosofía y ciencia con aquello que nos rodea.

🌿 Acompáñenos al lanzamiento de esta edición especial. Inscripción previa, cupos limitados.

This article title goes extremely hard

[Sam Knowlton @samdknowlton]

Two decades ago, researchers started an experiment that would challenge the prevailing scientific understanding of plant communities.

While modern agriculture treats diversity as inefficient, the Jena Experiment proved the opposite: complexity is the key to resilience.

"The scale of recent global farmland abandonment is a staggering and still largely untold story... Globally, an area of land half the size of Australia, around a billion acres, has recently been relinquished"

[Yale Environment 360 @YaleE360]

From our archives: Vasts swaths of abandoned land are ripe for rewilding, experts say, with huge potential to boost wildlife and draw down carbon.
