Feminist Ferals by Arian D. Wallach Produced by Tommy Lin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpx-ZHHWN5s&t=2s This video explores how conservation remains tethered to chauvinistic ideologies.  It explores how archaic beliefs about animals,  wildlife,  and nature,  has erased one of the Earth’s most significant rewilding events in recent history.
