Can we destroy Nature?

Question from the Internet:

“Are we really destroying nature?”

On one hand, the answer is obviously yes. Just look at the pollution, the fauna, animal life we are destroying, how much the amount of rainforests is depleted because of our totally unnatural, excessively overconsuming lifestyle.

I do not think anybody can deny this.

On the other hand, can we truly, irrevocably destroy Nature?

As the first, basically global quarantine at the beginning of the pandemic shows, Nature starts to recover, repair, replenish itself the moment humans retreat. And since the Natural system is infinitely greater, stronger than us, if Nature was truly on the brink, it would start such defensive reactions that can wipe humanity off the planet.

Some people are suggesting that the pandemic is already such a reaction from Nature, while climate change can also threaten human existence. And as the evolving, potentially 3rd World War shows Nature can actually wait until we self-destruct even without Natural catastrophes.

We will find that the only truly endangered species in Nature is humanity, we will not survive evolution unless we understand that evolution requires ever-increasing mutual integration above diversity, which mutual integration human beings are supposed to achieve, implement consciously, proactively.
