Allowing nature to grow back as much as possible is better by definition.

Arctic seals and more than half of bird species are in trouble on latest list of threatened species Arctic seals are being pushed closer to extinction and more than half of bird species around the world are declining.

The IUCN calls the extinction crisis a mix of “hope and concern.” But hope thrives in the absence of honesty. Humanity would rather lie to itself about endless growth than face the limits of a finite planet.

sage grouse's population declines are mostly being caused by degradation of sagebrush habitat. there are more perches for raptors, fences, transmission lines, roads-but also energy & livestock industries have done everything in their power to keep them from being listed endangered

The Scientists Making the Case for Nature’s Rights - Inside Climate News A growing number of scientists are backing laws recognizing that nature has inherent rights and intrinsic value. A group of wetlands scientists wants the critical ecosystems they study to be next.

Rights of nature sound noble. But when the patient is already in hospice, rights are nothing more than ritual.

'Their resilience is a lesson to us all': The maritime lions hunting seals on the beach In Namibia, a group of desert lions have left their traditional hunting grounds for the Atlantic coast and are now thriving as the world's only maritime lions.

Adaptability keeps species alive….until there’s nowhere left to adapt to. Desert lions turned to the sea to survive, but as oceans empty, that refuge will fade. Flexibility means nothing without biodiversity.

Ranch owner highlights surprising benefits of so-called 'pest' on his property: 'They're doing me a favor' "I don't want to run them off."

Oregon just passed laws to protect beavers — but only because they “benefit humans.” As soon as they start doing beaver things that benefit beavers, they’re killed. We will never see ourselves as part of nature. #RacingToExtinction

Antarctica may have crossed a tipping point that leads to rising seas — New Scientist Scientists are beginning to understand the sudden loss of sea ice in Antarctica – and there is growing evidence that it represents a permanent shift with potentially catastrophic consequences

We’ve called so many things “tipping points” that the public can’t tell when one really tips. Antarctic sea ice may have just crossed a threshold for real. The crisis is clearer than the language.
