José Ramón Bas s'initie à la photographie en autodidacte à l'âge de quinze ans, puis à vingt ans prend des cours de photo et de vidéo à l'Ecole de l'image et du Design de Barcelone, avant de très vite orienter son travail sur les nouvelles formes d'expression et sur la mémoire du voyage. "José Ramón Bas est inclassable, poète et voyageur, attentif aux gens qu'il rencontre, aux espaces qu'il traverse ; il ne se soucie pas de constituer une oeuvre mais s'attache à chaque projet à restituer les temps du voyage, en Afrique, à Cuba, au Brésil. Pendant ses parcours, il photographie de façon ludique, compulsive, puis de retour en Espagne, il transforme les images en objets. C'est à ce moment que commence le travail, il fait faire des tirages sur lesquels en fonction de l'humeur, de l'inspiration du moment, du souvenir qu'il garde du moment de la photo, il va écrire dessus, la griffer, la peindre ou simplement dessiner, avant de la figer dans une inclusion de résine. Chaque image choisie, s'ouvrira à une infinité de possible qu'il réalisera dans des formats divers avec comme propre exigence de relater son souvenir de l'expérience du voyage".

Some European lands have been progressively alleviated of human pressures, particularly traditional agriculture in remote areas. This book proposes that this land abandonment can be seen as an opportunity to restore natural ecosystems via rewilding. We define rewilding as the passive management of ecological successions having in mind the long-term goal of restoring natural ecosystem processes. The book aims at introducing the concept of rewilding to scientists, students and practitioners. The first part presents the theory of rewilding in the European context. The second part of the book directly addresses the link between rewilding, biodiversity, and habitats. The third and last part is dedicated to practical aspects of the implementation of rewilding as a land management option. We believe that this book will both set the basis for future research on rewilding and help practitioners think about how rewilding can take place in areas under their management.
