Calling all young conservationists and rewilders!
In collaboration with the youth-led nature recovery organisation Youngwilders, Routes: The Journal For Student Geographers is launching a call for papers for a special issue on young people and rewilding. Submissions are open for secondary school students, undergraduates, and Master’s students!
Contributions can interpret this theme broadly, from youth perspectives on rewilding ideas and practices, accounts of rewilding projects involving young people, natural or social science driven research projects, engagements with the politics of rewilding including how young people are being included (or not), or more speculative pieces which imagine these relationships differently and creatively. They welcome scientific, conceptual, artistic, and other submissions from around the world! 
You could consider in your entry…
- Young people and their representation in rewilding politics.
- Ideas about rewilding people’s minds.
- Book reviews.
- Creative submissions including poetry or creative writing.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss a potential submission, please get in touch with us at: routesjournalgeography@gmail.com.
How to submit your entry:
Please send your submission to: routesjournalgeography@gmail.com. by 30th November 2024

- Your name(s)
