Many regions here are stripping out trees to grow indigenous, water wise plants wherever you able. Currently heading into Winter at 30 deg C today which is warm for this time of year.
Couple of years ago I went through series Nature is Speaking the more we learn to respect nature, plant suitable, we will make a massive difference to what we see around us today.
Your point is true and understandable. If everyone thinks like this then there is no need to think to save nature because everyone will give their time for nature. That's all there is to do.
Leave nature to run her own course across the lands it will stabilize, we need her more than she needs us.
This is also true. We think that we are saving nature, but the fact is that nature is saving us.
