1/ Are nature and human culture separate or integrated? Today’s #rewildginscience paper discusses this in European context. It makes the case that nature and culture are integrated, but that ideals of #wilderness and #rewilding are now challenging established practices. 
2/ “Although there is widespread political and societal support for biodiversity conservation in general, there are considerable disagreements about how to implement it.” E.g. Land Sparing or Sharing? Fence protected areas or Connect them?
3/ How should humans interact with nature? Conserve wilderness or manage landscapes? Is hunting appropriate? How do we tackle human-wildlife conflict?
