 Over time our ideas relating to the wilderness has changed considerably. In our world today, the wilderness refers to the most pristine natural areas on the planet; devoid of human interference.
#CumbriaWildlifeMedia #wilderness
2/4
 The entire planet used to be wild and untouched by humans. Unfortunately, today, 'there are not many corners of the world left untouched by humanity'. It seems the wilderness and wild places are vanishing more rapidly than ever before.

3/4
 Environmental and habitat destruction caused by human-led activities such as residential and industrial and development, livestock grazing, mining, road and dam construction, and pesticide use have taken an alarming toll on threatened and endangered wildlife populations.
4/4
 Despite being rich in some areas, Britain as a whole is one of the world's most environmentally depleted countries. 'Large areas of wilderness were once home to animals and plants which have now become rare sight, or completely gone'.

 Modern farming methods have influenced the way we cultivate the land in a variety of ways:

2/4
 The farming industry has a wide range of effects on society and our lives, including: supporting livelihoods though resources such as food and employment; providing necessary ingredients for food and other products; and fostering prosperous economies through trading goods.

 Feeding the world's growing population whilst reducing the environmental impact and conserving natural resources for future generations is a significant obstacle faced by the farming industry. oecd.org/agriculture/to…

 Why are people drawn to 'the wild'? What is it that attracts them? 🤔
#CumbriaWildlifeMedia #Thewild
2/4
 'There has always been something enticing about being out in the wilderness.' When out in the wild, there is a sense of serenity, simplicity, and beauty; as well as a thrill to living life on the edge and feeling a sense of danger and excitement.

 According to one hypothesis derived from evolutionary biologist Edward O. Wilson's "biophilia" theory, we have an innate desire to connect with nature and other forms of life, and there are evolutionary reasons why people seek out experiences in nature.greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/w…

 Wilderness & Anthropocene.
We are currently living in a time many refer to as the Anthropocene. This epoch is defined as the period in which we as humans have had significant impact on our planet and the wilderness surrounding us.
#CumbriaWildlifeMedia #Impactonnature
2/4
 In this new epoch of Earth's history, human activities have become a dominating, unsettling, and detrimental force on the entire Earth system. We have profoundly changed the planet's physical, chemical, and biological systems, on which we and all other organisms rely on.
3/4
 'It is widely acknowledged that humans, as a species, has had such a profound impact on Earth and its inhabitants that we will have a long-lasting – and potentially irreversible – impact on its systems, environment, processes, and biodiversity.' - NHM

 The history of Shamans and their traditions of becoming and transforming into animals peaked my interest. For me researching into their culture and religious practice was rather insightful and offered some fascinating information.
#CumbriaWildlifeMedia
2/4
 During my search, I came across this website which claims that in the mythological past of the Inuit (a group of indigenous people), humans and animals coexisted peacefully, with the ability to transform from animal to human and human to animal.

3/4
 Therianthropy is the fantastical, or mythological ability to transform into animals. Many shamanic traditions and religious practices include constructs of theriomorphism. To some shamanic communities the symbolism of becoming an animal is important in their culture.

 One of the last times I became aware of an animal looking at me was when I was sat in the bird hide last week. I had been sat in the hide for a while taking photos, and I noticed a Robin looking inquisitively at me from the corner of its eye.
#CumbriaWildlifeMedia #robin Image
2/4
 Robins are fascinating little birds with such quirky characteristics. They are such wonderful charismatic birds to photograph, often posing for the camera; loving the limelight and attention, I absolutely adore these gorgeous garden birds. But how could you not love them? Image
3/4
 With their orangey-red breasts, robins are easily distinguished. They sing brightly and boldly all year long, filling our gardens with beautiful birdsongs. Image

 Why are people more outraged by the death of a penguin than they are by the death of thousands of chickens?

#CumbriaWildlifeMedia #penguins #chickens
2/4
 Penguins are wild and have to fight to survive, living in some of the harshest environments; while most chickens are domesticated, living free-range in a more somewhat comfortable existence.
3/4
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3…
The BBC often anthropomorphises animals. Planet Earth II would not show penguins dying due to them being seen as 'little men dressed in dinner jackets'; they thought it would be too distressing for viewers to witness.
