The “good Anthropocene” is already here, if you look closely. Local examples abound of how nature and humanity can prosper together over the coming decades and centuries. They just need to be examined, refined, distributed, and connected up to a working whole.
Ecosystem ecologist Elena Bennett believes that discovering the most effective paths to such a future is a bottom-up process, as countless projects all over the world are exploring the ways that nature and humans can best collaborate. She has collected 500 such examples and assembled them into a narrative pointing toward an Anthropocene Epoch in which all life thrives.
