Designing Wilderness

There's no doubt that we humans have done some pretty awful things to our landscapes. Draining swamps, cutting down forests, shooting almost all the bison. Now, there are movements to preserve, conserve and bring those landscapes back. But for whom? Who benefits? Science for the People podcast talks to Laura J. Martin, author of the book Wild by Design: The Rise of Ecological Restoration, about the often colonizing history of ecological restoration, and what that means for its future.
