Man is continuing to toy with nature and environment for greed, and then deny global warming, but recognize that to fix the mess they created "in the name of science", we seem all too willing to admit mistakes made and try to rectify them at extraordinary costs to species and treasury, if it means it will fatten their wallets - we're a very sick species to endanger our planet and all life for a buck!

I would be very surprised if there is one place on Earth left that is not affected badly in one way or another by us!

We have had a massive problem here in Australia with European carp which were brought here from the UK for some unknown reason. In many rivers they have devastated native fish stocks.
They are now being netted commercially and turned into fertiliser. It helps but they will never be totally exterminated.
What a dumb species we humans are. We just can't leave nature alone.

yes most places in the world have been affected by humans, but what can you do besides try to fix it, there's always going to be greedy people.
