Since then there have been many other initiatives and accords along the way. Each report appears to present an evermore grim picture than the previous one. Cumulatively, we have had more than enough science to know what to do, and yet we still hurtle towards catastrophe. From an educational perspective, this paper explores two questions: What will it take to nurture healers and restorers of the earth? And what holds us back? These questions are examined, as they relate to teacher education, through the lens of “wild pedagogies.” Two new touchstones explicitly for teacher educators are developed in response.  \nRésumé  \nLa première conférence sur le changement climatique s’est tenue en 1979 à Genève, sous l’égide de l’Organisation météorologique mondiale. Depuis, de nombreuses autres initiatives et ententes ont vu le jour, mais le portrait de la situation semblenéanmoins s’assombrir d’un rapport à l’autre. Malgré le fait que nous ayonsaccumulé plus de données scientiﬁques qu’il n’en faut pour connaître la direction à prendre, nous ﬁlons toujours tout droit vers la catastrophe. Dans une optique éducative, le présent article explore deux questions : Que faudra-t-il faire pour enseigner à protéger et restaurer la nature? Quels sont les obstacles qui nous enempêchent? Comme ces questions sont en lien avec la formation des enseignants, elles sont examinées sous le prisme des « pédagogies environnementales non directives » . En réponse, deux nouveaux « principes de base » ont été expressément élaboréspour guider les formateurs des enseignants.  \nKeywords: environment, education, wild, wilderness, wild pedagogies, touchstones, teacher education  \nMots-clés : environnement, éducation, nature, monde sauvage, pédagogiesenvironnementales non directives, principes de base, formation des enseignants  \nPreamble  \nIn this essay, we draw on our own conversations and experiences to workout a philosophical narrative for teacher education—one that can provide the disruption required to effectively respond to issues of our time. The writing itself is also an integral part of this inquiry and the process of working out our ideas.  \nCanadian Journal of Environmental Education, 23(1), 2020 121  \nAs Laurel Richardson asserts, “Writing is a method of discovery , a way of ﬁnding out about yourself and your world”(2001, p. 35) . So, too, it is for us.  \nWe also provide a nod of gratitude to those whose work has directly inﬂuenced our thinking. However, we want our narrative to do work within teacher education communities—to encourage experimentation and activity. With this in mind, we have tried to foreground our ideas and reduce, to the extent we can, burdensome referencing.  \nFinally, this essay builds on Wild Pedagogies: Touchstones for Re-Negotiating Education and the Environment in the Anthropocene (Jickling, Blenkinsop, Timmerman, & Sitka-Sage, 2018). That book was largely written for practitioners and learners. Here we have developed new work, primarily in the form of two touchstones, written explicitly for teacher education. We provide a summary of the earlier work to create a context.  \nSeeking a Response  \nTwo days before the annual conference of the North American Association for Environmental Education, in October 2018, the International Governmental Panel on Climate Change released its Special Report: Global Warming of 1.5 C (IPCC, 2018) . At the same time wildﬁres raged in California—and other places. Shortly after that, the WWF released its Living Planet Report suggesting that more than 60% of the total numbers of amphibians, reptiles, mammals, ﬁsh, and birds that existed just 40 years ago are now lost (WWF, 2018) .
