Rewind #2 - Can We Learn to Live With Wolves? [WILLEMIJN DE IONGH]

Wolves are returning to Europe... and it’s stirring up powerful emotions! Can we learn to coexist with predators in a human-dominated landscape? 🐺🌾

In this #REWIND episode of the Deep Seed Podcast, we revisit a powerful moment with Willemijn de Iong from Commonland. Willemijn shares her insights on the return of wolves in the Netherlands, the conflict with sheep farmers, and what we can learn from human-wildlife conflict in Kenya.

This conversation dives into:

✅ How wolves are changing ecosystems in real time (trophic cascades)

✅ The emotional and cultural tensions with rewilding

✅ Compensation and policy solutions for coexistence

✅ What Maasai communities in Kenya taught her about respect, conflict, and change
