Peter Michael Bauer

Peter Michael Bauer is an anthropologist, experimental archaeologist, and historian. His work focuses on the social and environmental impacts of the neolithic revolution, and how understanding these impacts can provide us with solutions to the sixth mass extinction. Since the early 2000’s, he has been an integral catalyst in the human rewilding movement. This movement works to create resilience through the return to place-based, regenerative subsistence strategies, inspired by those that existed prior to–or exist outside of–the formation of agrarian states. Peter created the first international online rewilding forum (now archived at [discuss.rewild.com](http://discuss.rewild.com/)), wrote a book on rewilding called Rewild or Die, founded the nonprofit organization Rewild Portland, and created the Annual North American Rewilding Conference.
