Humanity is the only endangered species

Question from the Internet:

“What would be the consequence if human activities were to be stopped and prohibited?”

We received glimpses of such states from Chernobyl and during the first, almost complete global quarantine about a year ago.

The moment human activity ceases, or lessens to a great extent, Nature immediately takes over and starts recovering, seemingly miraculously repairing the damage our artificial, excessively overconsuming activities cause.

Chernobyl is especially a striking example as Natural life has long returned to a devastated place human beings are still afraid to approach.

This shows how much we are acting as cancer on one hand, on the other hand we can’t destroy our “host", instead we are the only truly endangered species, after we self-destructed Nature will seamlessly return to normality.

Thus the principle of adapting to a more natural lifestyle within the optimal parameters of available natural resources and modern, natural necessities is not about “saving Nature".

Nature doesn’t need saving. We have to save ourselves by consciously, methodically becoming compatible with Nature’s laws that system the balance and homeostasis life depends on.
