Earth - a new wild

I don't usually plug products but this is a PBS TV show:

I think this show is worth watching since it isn't about cute pictures of wild animals.  The premise is that humans and wild animals can co-exist and actually do better than you'd think. 

There are a lot of counter-intuitive  examples like the guy who figured out that the over-grazing done by elephants doesn't mean there are too many elephants (which would lead to culling the heard).  Instead he advocated MORE elephants! The trick is to ... aw, just watch the show.

This is the kind of thinking we need to do more of in the 21st century. 

I view this kind of thinking as another small indication of us moving from Civilization 0 to Civilization 1
