Holocene resurgence against anthropocene plantation

This article has argues that sustainability is a multispecies affair. If we have any dreams of handing a livable world to our descendants, we will need to fight for the possibilities of resurgence. The biggest threat to resurgence is the simplification of the living world as a set of assets for future investments. As the world becomes a plantation, virulent pathogens proliferate, killing even common plants and animals. To appreciate Anthropocene challenges, we need to pay more attention to the cross-species socialities on which we all depend. As long as we block out everything that is not human, we make sustainability a mean and parochial concept; we lose track of the common work that it takes to live on earth for both humans and nonhumans.
