==Adoption and practice== Primitivist ideas were taken up by the [[eco-terrorism|eco-terrorist]] [[Ted Kaczynski]], although he has been repeatedly criticised for his violent means by more pacifistic anarcho-primitivists, who instead advocate for non-violent forms of [[direct action]].{{Sfn|Aaltola|2010|p=167}} Primitivist concepts have also taken root within the philosophy of [[deep ecology]], inspiring the direct actions of groups such as [[Earth First!]].{{Sfn|Aaltola|2010|pp=167-170}} Another radical environmentalist group, the [[Earth Liberation Front]] (ELF), was directly influenced by anarcho-primitivism and its calls for rewilding.{{Sfn|Humphrey|2013|p=298}} Primitivists and green anarchists have adopted the concept of ecological [[rewilding]] as part of their practice, i.e., using reclaimed skills and methods to work towards a sustainable future while undoing institutions of civilization.{{sfn|Etherington|2024|p=246}} Anarcho-primitivist periodicals include ''Green Anarchy'' and ''Species Traitor''. The former, self-described as an "anti-civilization journal of theory and action" and printed in [[Eugene, Oregon]], was first published in 2000 and expanded from a 16-page newsprint tabloid to a 76-page magazine covering [[monkeywrenching]] topics such as pipeline sabotage and animal liberation. ''Species Traitor'', edited by Kevin Tucker, is self-described as "an insurrectionary anarcho-primitivist journal", with essays against literacy and for hunter gatherer societies. Adjacent periodicals include the radical environmental journal ''Earth First!''<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dodge |first=Chris |title=Apocalypse Soon? |url=https://www.utne.com/community/streetlibrarianapocalypsesoon/ |work=[[Utne Reader|Utne]] |issue=136 |pages=38β39 |date=July 2006 |id={{ProQuest|217426998}} |issn=1544-2225 |df=mdy-all }}</ref>
