About Human Keystone
Keystones are, by definition, "a species on which other species in an ecosystem largely depend."
Project ‘Human Keystone’ evolved out of the question: What would it take for humans to become a beneficial keystone species? What would happen if we place wild Humans back into the landscape? What would happen we we relearn how to become Stewards of the land again.
Learning the skills to rediscover our place in Nature - this is what Project ‘Human Keystone’ is all about.
“Living wild to become part of ‘wild - life’.“
Michael Wachter, founder of ‘Human Keystone’ is an experienced outdoorsman, Hunter, Fisher, Forager and primitive skills practitioner based in Hastings. Through month long solo and group immersions into some of the last truly wild parts of Europe he has over the years developed deep kinship with the natural world.
Learning from the Ju/’hoansi Bushmen of the Kalahari desert in Namibia Michael developed friendships and companionships with some of the last Bowhunters and trackers in the world. His teaching style is unorthodox, ancestral as well as process rather than goal orientated. To learn more about Michael’s work click on this button:
