Phillip Vannini is a professor and ethnographer at Royal Roads School of Communication and Culture. His recent work includes the documentary film Life off Grid, and the book (and documentary film) Inhabited, Wildness and the Vitality of the Land. This recent work centers around concepts of wilderness, wildness, and wild, and how these mean different things depending on who you ask where, and when. We spoke about these concepts and what they mean for wildlife and resource management, and peoples relationship with the natural world. We also spoke about ethnographic work, and the role this plays in understanding our interactions with animals and ecosystems.  Check out more at www.talkingferal.com Inhabited film www.inhabitedfilm.ca
