Ever wondered what "multispecies conviviality" looks like in practice?

In LIVING WITH JAVELINAS, anthropologist Adam Johnson explores how Texans and wildlife successfully share space—from Big Bend National Park to backyard habitats where javelinas interact closely with locals.

Rather than focusing solely on human-wildlife conflict, this research highlights how communities and nature can find equilibrium through patient attention to natural dynamics and shared spaces.

Read the full story by Andrew Stuart on Marfa Public Radio:

In “Living with Javelinas: Multispecies Conviviality in Texas,” forthcoming from UT Press, anthropologist Adam Johnson explores how people can coexist thoughtfully with wildlife, with the iconic borderlands creatures as the case study.

We are thrilled to celebrate the official publication of LIVING WITH JAVELINAS!

Decades of hunting in Texas have made javelinas wary. But through extended time with rancher Roger Gray—who encounters and feeds them daily—author Adam P. Johnson reveals how repeated contact can foster a mutually responsive relationship. Blending anthropology with ecology, Living with Javelinas shows that coexistence isn’t about effortless harmony, but ongoing adjustment. In times of ecological strain, these situated acts of accommodation point the way toward more ethical, sustainable ways of living together.
