This book explores humanity's relationship with the natural world
throughout evolutionary history, and the need to reorient this onto a
symbiotic basis. It integrates the themes of natural and artificial
selection, the characteristics of historic 'revolutions', and directed
versus random change. Inspiring community-based projects, mainly from
the developing world, show how ecosystem regeneration uplifts human
livelihoods in a positively reinforcing cycle, embodying lessons germane
to co-creating a Symbiocene era wherein humanity's substantial influence
(the Anthropocene) achieves increasing symbiosis with the natural
processes shaping the former Holocene epoch. The Ecosystems Revolution
provides practical, positive examples, highlighting the attainability of
an 'ecosystems revolution'.
