An Anthology of the Anthropocene

For The Wild is a slow media studio dedicated to land-based protection, co-liberation, and intersectional storytelling. We are rooted in a paradigm shift away from human supremacy, endless growth, and consumerism. Our work highlights impactful stories and deeply-felt meaning making as balms for these times.
