      Were not caretakers of anything. Natures gonna do what natures gonna do. More species have gone extinct than the amount that are around today. A majority of those species went extinct long before humans were even around. But, we can certainly try. Its not a question of preservation, its a question of how we attempt to preserve. Idk a lot about conservation. But, i’ll use an example as it pertains to U.S forestry. If we cut all the trees down than they cannot burn. But, obviously we wont have any trees if we do that. The opposite perspective proposes that we don’t do any type of management to our forests, and leave them be. Unfortunately, forests WILL burn (with or without humans) and we still wont have any trees. I think that the best solution is a marriage of the two. We manage, we log, plant, make firebreaks, isolate old growth, eliminate tinder undergrowth, etc etc. Humans need natural resources. Forests are like any crop. You cannot grow barley if your fields are not maintained. I think people tend to forget that there is no such thing as irreversible damage as far as nature is concerned. If we destroy our resources than we will either perish, or severely diminish as a species.

      @@paperdo Not to argue with you or anything... But the rest of the sentences you've just implied opposes the very first sentence you've said. Being caretaker of Nature is more than just preservation, it includes manipulation of what won't and what will be. Species go extinct, yes that's nature of things... Only for better one's to take place and we humans are much evolved and logical than other animals, which is why we survived for so long.
      But you're right on lots of points, our relation with Nature had to be like a marriage, mutual and benefiting both parties. We preserve trees, wilderness, and more and we benefit from it like food, shelter, and more. Like to a spouse you love, you'll get that love back. Hurt it and it'll bite back tenfold.
      Afterall, you can't spell caretaker without "care". And certainly, the lizards didn't care because they're just mass of flesh without logic or mind of it's own, just instincts.

    In Oregon, a 15 year old boy from Vancouver, Washington, decided to light off fireworks in the Columbia River Gorge in 2017. At the time there was a burn ban, and he and few friends took the fireworks, lit them, and dropped them into a canyon. The lit fireworks then started a fire, but soon started a large blaze in the gorge. By September 28th, 2017, the fire had consumed 48,831 acres of forest, and the fire was officially pronounced the fire 100% contained on November 30th, 2017. The fire threatened the Multnomah Falls Lodge, but was saved. The fire also burned Oneonta Tunnel and Canyon, burned parts of the original Columbia Gorge Highway, and burned more historic sites. After the fire was put out though, the damage continued. Due to the unstable trees, they had to be removed, and due to the heavy rain and snow falling, soil dislodged off the mountain and caused huge landslides. The fire was named the Eagle Creek Fire in October 2017.

Apart from a few inaccessible examples, the entire surface has been defaced.
