Elisée Reclus, precursor del biorregionalismo

Se ha comentado en este blog acerca del concepto de biorregionalismo. Sin embargo, ahora veremos que la idea del mismo fue formulada tiempo atrás por el geógrafo anarquista Elisée Reclus. Cito a Wikipedia:

"According to Kirkpatrick Sale:[2]

His geographical work, thoroughly researched and unflinchingly scientific, laid out a picture of human-nature interaction that we today would call bioregionalism. It showed, with more detail than anyone but a dedicated geographer could possibly absorb, how the ecology of a place determined the kinds of lives and livelihoods its denizens would have and thus how people could properly live in self-regarding and self-determined bioregions without the interference of large and centralized governments that always try to homogenize diverse geographical areas."
