Evolution libre, new chapter for a wilder France

A UNESCO-IUCN conference on évolution libre – ‘free evolution’ – was held in Paris on 12-13th February. With some 400 attending in person and online, it was convened to promote the practice of management by natural processes, unfettered by human intervention or extraction.
Although only making its debut in France within the last few years, the concept is spreading rapidly, and the agenda included an international round table facilitated by Wild Europe with input from Germany, Poland, Switzerland and Canada.
