Kincentric / Kinship Worldview
A worldview that treats nature as kin, not resource. Rather than humans standing apart from nature and managing it, a kincentric approach sees people as one part of a living web of relationships with plants, animals, rivers, and soil.

Regenerative
Going beyond “doing less harm” to actively restoring and renewing natural systems — soil, water, habitats — so they become healthier and more resilient over time, not just maintained as they are.
See further:
Relational
Paying attention to relationships, not just outcomes: how people relate to nature, to each other, and to the places they live, rather than treating land, water, or community purely as things to be managed or extracted from.
See further:
Rewilding
Restoring an area to a wilder, more self-sustaining state, often by reducing human management and allowing natural processes — like flooding, grazing, or natural regeneration of trees — to shape the landscape again.
See further:
Rights of Nature / Rights of Rivers
A legal and philosophical idea that nature — or a specific river — has its own inherent rights, such as the right to flow freely or be free from pollution, rather than being treated only as property or a resource.
See further:
Thrutopian
Not utopian (a perfect, finished future with no path to it) and not dystopian (a warning of collapse). Thrutopian thinking asks what it might realistically take to get from here to somewhere better — grounded, not fantastical.
