Maglevs and the Vision of St. Hubert – Or the Great Restoration of Nature: Why and How

The emblems of my essay are maglevs speeding through tunnels below the surface of Earth and a crucifix glowing between the antlers of a stag, the vision of St. Hubert. Propelled by magnets, maglev trains levitate passengers with green mobility. Maglevs symbolise technology, while the fellowship of St. Hubert with other animals symbolises behaviour. Better technology and behaviour can do much to spare and restore nature during the 21st century, even as more numerous humans prosper. In this essay I explore the areas of human use for fishing, farming, logging, and cities. Offsetting the sprawl of cities, rising yields in farms and forests and changing tastes can spare wide expanses of land. Shifting from hunting seas to farming fish can similarly spare nature. I will conclude that cardinal resolutions to census marine life, lift crop yields, increase forest area, and tunnel for maglevs would firmly promote the Great Restoration of nature on land and in the sea. First, let me share the vision of St. Hubert.
