Fertile disobedience

There are those who look at the world as it is and ask: why? And those who imagine the world as it should be and say: why not? George Bernard Shaw

Fertile disobedience is a movement dedicated to preserving living beings and regenerating ecosystems when they have been damaged, by any means necessary. Three fundamental pillars anchor the philosophy of fertile disobedience: . Integrating with Nature . Aggravate territories. . Don't wait for laws to change before taking action.

We are invited to rethink our profound relationship with Nature: the human species is not condemned to degrade the environments that shelter it. We can all become guardians of Life. We need to analyze the failures of past ecological movements in order to act in ways that will enable us to cohabit sustainably with other living species and form a harmonious whole with them. This is what this book, which advocates an offensive ecology, proposes.

Jonathan Attias is a lecturer, journalist and university lecturer in citizen lobbying, who has been involved in a wide range of issues since moving to the forest with his family. With this manifesto, which doubles as a practical and legal guide to settling in the wilderness, he invites us to take our turn as guardians of the land.
