I know that’s not rational, because it is my house, but losing so much around it completely changed my sense of emotional connection to it.” The rented house where Carly lives is one of only a handful of structures that survived the so-called Camp Fire in November 2018. Destroying nearly the entire town of Paradise and killing 86 people, the fire was the deadliest in the state's history. In the wake of the fire, Carly found herself living nearly alone in a neighborhood that once had dozens of residents. “We all have this need for community and belonging. But what is the process of rebuilding not only the physical structures that we lost but rebuilding the actual community that existed here,” she asks. Her question is emblematic of the ways in which environmental transformation has residual effects on our social fabric.

Carly’s story is part of a new @natgeodocs and @ロン・ハワード documentary entitled Rebuilding Paradise, which releases today. I joined the team because of my work on the concept of #solastalgia, a new word coined to describe the emotional distress that often accompanies major forms of environmental transformation.
