QUOTE: "But the general principle of considering complex, multispecies interactions is vital. “The idea of thinking about the whole ecosystem and species interactions is important in conservation,” Bryan says."

DAVID's comment: Wild animals are perfectly capable of working out a necessary balance. Everything living has to have energy to survive. The bush of life is necessary, not just an accident of evolutionary invention.

dhw: All animals were “wild” before humans appeared, and yet despite their ability to work out a balance, 99% of them disappeared. One might therefore ask what exactly the bush of life was necessary for. Ah yes, they all had to come and go because that was the only way your God could dabble with some of their descendants in order to give humans their big brains. Fair comment?

Not fair. Skips balance of nature, providing energy for life to evolve.. Life dies. Evolution implies passage of form from simple to complex. Of course 99% are gone. That supports my analysis.
