Experts including professors Kathryn Yusoff and Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing have both highlighted the need for new ways to notice and understand these beyond-human worlds.

Ecology Singing Through Trees and Time Warps: communicating eco-knowledge across aeons By Liam Geary Baulch Many rewilding projects and other programs aimed at environmental recovery take a long view of history, and are set to be implemented over centuries.
