In Mini-Wilderness for Everyone, authors Michael Altmoos and Eva Stengel describe how targeted self-regulation can create interconnected oases: from private balconies to gardens, from corporate grounds to community spaces—and, as a vital part, entire landscapes. Does doing nothing save the world? Almost! Mini-Wilderness for Everyone is a guide to semi-wild landscaping and intelligent inaction. Through concrete projects, the authors explain how—and, most importantly, how with as little intervention as possible—valuable habitats can be created. The book provides the tools for "strategic rewilding" and describes how seemingly useless areas can be transformed into vibrant stepping-stone biotopes that simultaneously serve as natural protection against extreme weather such as heat and heavy rain. A book that bridges the gap between science and practicable action, building connections: between intelligent inaction and active shaping—between wilderness on a large scale and on a small one.
