The special issue “Multispecies encounters in Conservation Landscapes in Southern Africa”, which “investigates the changing conditions of multispecies coexistence in conservation contexts that transform entire ecosystems, including wildlife, plants, microbes and humans” (Lacan et al. 2024) was just published in the journal “Anthropology Southern Africa”.
It includes six articles of rewilding researchers, including four that are openly accessible, namely:
