Welcome to Wild Frontiers! This is a network for anyone who wants to collaborate with others to rediscover and develop ways in which we can live and govern ourselves as life members of the beautiful community we call "Earth". If you want to play a part in developing laws and governance systems that reorientate our lives and communities towards a future that is ecologically, socially and spiritually sustaining - then this is the on-line community for you!

Rethinking Wild Law

Should it be of any interest, here is an input to the Rio+20 Earth Summit which recapitulates wild law in terms of ecological integrity in order to place it on a scientific and quantifiable basis.In so doing, it circumvents the fundamental difficulties inherent in a rights based approach, and crucially the objections which such an approach generates - fundamentalist and otherwise - which would…See More

The systems which industrial civilisations use to regulate human behaviour (e.g. value, legal, political, economic and educational systems) are promoting rather than preventing the degradation and destruction of our habitat. We will need to fundamentally change these systems so that they prioritise maintaining the health and integrity of the whole Earth community if we are to address environmental crises (like climate change) and related social problems successfully. This will require reconnecting with the wild creative energies that brought our Earth community into being and continue to animate it, and to create systems that nurture our connections with this community and participation in it.

The book Wild Law describes a new Earth-centred approach to governance called "Earth jurisprudence" and advocates the development of "wild laws" that reflect this approach. This will require refining our understanding of the principles of Earth Jurisprudence, an understanding of the fundamental principles that govern the natural systems which we are part of (Ecological intelligence), drawing on the wisdom of more ecologically literate cultures (Indigenous wisdom), and developing a global consensus on the rights and obligations of members of the Earth Community (see Universal Declaration of Planetary Rights and UDPR tag).

Principles for collaboration

1. Many minds working together with a common purpose and shared values can achieve far more than any of us could alone.
2. Feel free to be critical but seek to be constructive and to make a positive contribution to this collaborative endeavour.

"Todos Somos Seres Universales"

On November 26, 2010, the evolution of consciousness took a surprising, but altogether natural turn.  As readers of this site are probably aware, on that date, a ground-breaking lawsuit was filed in the Constitutional Court of Ecuador against BP, alleging that its knowing and reckless actions in the Deep Horizon Well disaster in the Gulf of Mexico violated the rights of Nature guaranteed in Article 277 of the Ecuadorian Constitution.  The…

Cormac makes the rabble- and the CBD!

What if wildlife had a day in court?

 

Imagine they would find the atmosphere unconducive, the proceedings extremely tedious, the company marginal and the catering left a lot to be desired. And would return outdoors to nature asap, never to return.

 

All that not withstanding, no less than the CBD alerted me to…

One Planet Living versus the Law of Attraction or Can I be rich and green?

The "Law of Attraction"

Bestselling films such as “The Secret” popularise the principles of the “Law of Attraction” which states that “like attracts like” and we can manifest in our lives the things that we desire through our thoughts and emotions.  This philosophy believes that the Universe is abundant and unlimited and the manifestation of our desires causes the Universe to expand infinitely.  It’s appealing on an individual level – there is no…
