In a Wild future, characterized by post-catastrophic climate change and elevated sustainable technology, there exists a library called Re-Wilding Humanitarian Library. This library supports their community by understanding where we came from and why conservation is important. One issue facing the library's community is getting everyone onboard to conserve, and to address this the library has an annual festival to introduce and educate the population.
