Drawing on pragmatist and ecofeminist philosophy, Erin McKenna, Mary Trachsel and \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eTess Varner\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e challenge dominant narratives of human exceptionalism and offer new ethical approaches to coexistence with wildlife.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining philosophical inquiry with interviews and site visits across the USA – from wolf educators in Yellowstone to the Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest – the authors examine how animals are categorized as predators, pests, or exotic. Interrogating the three terms, they demonstrate how these labels shape public policy, conservation efforts, and human responses, both positively and negatively. As such, this volume does not focus solely on romanticized wild animals like bears and big cats but also considers overlooked species such as prairie dogs, feral pigs, and ticks, which are similarly central to debates about coexistence and biodiversity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRather than prescribing fixed solutions to conflicts between humans and other species, this book embraces pluralism and contextual ethics. Recognizing that wolf management, for example, must adapt to different ecological, cultural, and political contexts, it advocates for adaptive and reciprocal relationships with the more-than-human world. It interrogates the rhetoric of wildness and civilization and, inspired by the notion of 'connectedness' foregrounded in pragmatism and ecofeminism, asks what it means to live ethically within, and not apart from, nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUrgent, interdisciplinary, and deeply humane, \u003ci\u003eCohabiting the Wild\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for scholars and students in environmental philosophy, animal ethics, and feminist theory, as well as anyone seeking new ways to think about wildlife and human-animal coexistence in the Anthropocene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErin McKenna\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor of Philosophy at the   University of Oregon, USA.
