John DavisJohn Davis is executive director of The Rewilding Institute and editor of Rewilding Earth. He rounds out his living with conservation field work, particularly within New York's Adirondack Park, where he lives. John serves on boards of RESTORE: The Noth Woods, Eddy Foundation, Champlain Area Trails, Cougar Rewilding Foundation, and Algonquin to Adirondack (A2A) Conservation Collaborative. In 2011, John completed TrekEast, a 7600-mile muscle-powered exploration of wilder parts of the eastern United States and southeastern Canada-sponsored by Wildlands Network and following lines suggested in Dave Foreman's book Rewilding North America-to promote restoration and protection of an Eastern Wildway. His book about that adventure, Big, Wild, and Connected: Scouting an Eastern Wildway from Florida to Quebec, was published by Island Press. In 2013, John trekked from Sonora, Mexico, north along the Spine of the Continent as far as southern British Columbia, Canada, again ground-truthing Rewilding North America and promoting habitat connections, big wild cores, and apex predators. This second continental wildways trek is the subject of the film Born to Rewild. Read More Read Less
