interesting anti-science view...

The idea is that humans would kick-start ecosystem processes, then stand back and let nature do its own thing and rebuild healthy wild places.

incorrect. many ecosystems have died.... and many ecosystems have been born too. we just haven't discovered it yet.

Nature did pretty well for the three billion years before we turned up, and it could do pretty well again if we learned to interfere less, environmentalist and author George Monbiot says.

incorrect. for 3 billion years and so.... the nature's still doing same... adapting and evolving regardless of human existence.

He also points the ability of top predators to completely transform ecosystems, such as when wolves were recently re-introduced to Yellowstone National Park – if humans keep their hands off.

“The whole ecosystem was changed by the wolves and that’s one of those wonderful, serendipitous surprises that to me is what nature should be all about. Nature is not just a collection of species, it’s all the weird stuff that happens between those species.”

incorrect. the ability of top pests has also completely transformed ecosystems.

In the process, humans can relieve what Monbiot calls ecological boredom and reconnect with the natural world, recapturing an essential and exhilarating wildness within ourselves.

that I agree. we have reached the pinnacle of technology where we can easily live in harmony with the nature but it's a damn shame that the modern civilizations prefer to be spoiled and gluttonous. well that's ok.... like all top predators for the past billions of years.... the ecosystem will collapse and another ecosystem will replace it. or the number of predators will just simply dwindle down to a sustainable limit. simple as that.

our ability to transform the earth is meaningless. the nature will just simply destroy it with great fury - tsunami. earthquake. tornado. etc. that's just how powerful the nature is.

“It’s almost as if Canada is ripping up its most precious natural assets in exchange for assets which won’t last long and which can only cause harm, and that to me seems to be completely perverse.”

incorrect. both predators and preys do rip up the nature's precious assets.

anybody recall the locust swarm of biblical proportion? there you go.

Wasn't that the plot of a Star Trek movie?
