Why protecting nature is hard | Richard Wrangham and Lex Fridman

Protecting nature is hard because we’re trying to protect it from ourselves.

What we eat needs to be changed to what nature produces. For example, the Buffalo is the natural product of the plains of North America. We have killed them off, we have put up fences, and we now raise resource-rich cattle. We need to take down the fences, bring back the massive herds of Buffalo and live off of them. If we need them for our own survival, then we will protect them and their habitat. That is the way "the system was designed" to operate. We sure like to tell Africa how they should live and conserve their natural flora and Fauna. We must lead by example.

Or we can hold corporations accountable for the immeasurable damage they’ve caused

Humans are natural

Well if a certain group had stayed in europe and kept their war and exploitation to themselves nature would be fine. I might miss Friends TV show and nuclear fallout but I - and nature- could live with that

:(

Please, gents, it is NOT about "preservation of nature" but, rather, preservation of OUR species!!! Hint: it is not possible under capitalism.
