#WarWilding
27. Article in Polish media about #WarWilding (although most media don't use this term) on how wild nature (forests, wetlands) can help protect Poland's borders as part of its Tarcza Wschód/Shield East plans at northern & eastern borders with Russia & Belarus #TabClosed2026 tvn24.pl/tvnmeteo/pol...
Zielona Tarcza Wschód. "Teren walczy". Tak dzika przyroda może chronić nasze granice   | TVN Meteo
Dzika przyroda jest istotna dla bezpieczeństwa Polski. Według ekspertów naturalne lasy i tereny podmokłe stanowią doskonałą linię obrony - są nieprzejezdne i niezwykle trudne w nawigacji. Jak zaznacza...

26. Academic article about challenges warfare poses for wetland-dependent wildlife, how these effects are cumulative with climate change, & need for interventions by conservation orgs to mitigate negative impacts of war on wetlands (not #WarWilding). #TabClosed2026 academic.oup.com/ieam/article...
Military activity and wetland‐dependent wildlife: A warfare ecology perspective
Abstract. Wetlands provide unique habitat functions that benefit society by provisioning food, recreation, and ecosystem sustainability. Warfare affects th

Ok, I should have numbered these #TabClosed2026. The above constituted some 22 tabs. So, let's call this 23. Politico article (not the only one with a largely "win-win" angle on #WarWilding) about restoring bogs for both climate & defense. At least farmers mentioned. www.politico.eu/article/russ...
From Kyiv to the Suwałki Gap, bogs return as Europe’s defensive shield
Restoring the EU’s drained bogs would stop both Russian tanks and planet-warming pollution.

Best paper I've read to date about #WarWilding by lawyer Lynn Ma who explains the #ENMOD convention and gives real world examples of WarWilding, where it has and has not gone too far. I keep sending it to colleagues who are WarWilding proponents. repository.uclawsf.edu/hastings_env...
WarWilding: A Weapon and a Shield in the Midst of Conflict
War disrupts the lives of people, governments, and the wider environment. The purpose of this article is to examine how rewilding and ecological planning could be applied to military logistics to enha...

Dit is dus #warwilding.
Defensie zonder wapentuig, met koolstofslag en biodiversiteit als bonus
🌍 Mire defence tech for Europe 🌾

Did you know that peatlands not just help fighting climate change but also are military defence? 🛡️
New paper by AECO & @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social suggests creating an EU fund of €250-500 million for rewetting 100.000 ha as security measure.

Dan investeren we dat geld toch mooi in #warwilding? Herstel en ontwikkeling van de ondoordringbare veenmoerassen langs de Oostgrenzen van Europa.

Zo'n verdedigingswapen is meteen ook goed tegen de klimaatcrisis (koolstofopslag) en de biodiversiteitscrisis.

Want ja, die crises zijn er ook nog.

is nog goed te verdedigen ook. letterlijk:
#rewilding/ #warwilding met uitgestrekte moerasgebieden aan oostgrens bijvoorbeeld.
Maar klimaatontwrichting zal ook leiden tot meer onrust en conflict in de wereld.

Now that is a nature-based solution: #warWilding!
Restoring the impenetrable peat swamps of Eastern Europe to obstruct terrestrial invasion.
Bonus: carbon, biodiversity and water conservation.

Opinie: Ondoordringbaar veenmoeras is goed voor defensie én klimaat
Laat uitgestrekte veengebieden aan de oostgrenzen van Europa vernatten, schrijven Philipp Gramlich en Karin Bodewits. Want tanks rijden slecht in de modder.

Jonathan Turnbull from @ox.ac.uk has introduced and discussed the concepts of domicide (deliberate destruction of home) and the tension between rewilding or warwilding with the push to reconstruct.
