With Earth day quickly approaching the masses and a new season climbing out of its snowy Montana den, the Northwestern United States is experiencing sun and sun and sun--- not spawing, spawning spawning wild salmon.
This hopefully stirs in your mind a number of issues into a sort of broccoli branch of connectivity. I've been wondering lately what effect our global population of 6,602,224,175 has on other species and what is the importance of the effect.
My main question is difficult to phrase. Basically I wonder whether humans would have an effect equivalent to other species on Earth (its resources, its ecosystems) if our population was smaller, say approximate to the size of the brown bear (~200,000 brown bears in the world). Or is it human nature, not population frequency, that determines our heavy boot sole footprint?
And I wonder whether it's constructive to think critically about what our honest and apparent precense on Earth has effected as far as natural processes are concerned, and maybe even animalian behavior. Forest Networking, a project of Forest.org, reported last year,
Humans and all life need ecosystems to exist - to provide for our air, water, shelter and sustenance. The human family also desires to better its condition; to have access to comfort, security and material wealth. To date, despite the rhetoric of “Sustainable Development”, these two realities remain irreconcilable.
I really enjoyed reading that. Rather eloquently or tragically (take your pick), it confirms my basic beliefs. It's regrettable that I'm not a humanist at this moment.
See I really don't know if that would affect humans like animals. We can easily get out of a situation though in the comfort of our homes. Animals can also but they have to find a place first. That is really a good question. Lets do a study...lol Just kidding.
Good blog

Love comments? I do too!
I was looking for a specific quote to put in that I'd see ushered from an environmental scientist. Something to the effect that every study done has exacted the claim that nearly EVERY natural ecosystems is suffering across the world. But I couldn't find it.
It didn't answer my question of population, but I still dug hearing someone saying it.

Yes, thank you for that, it really touched my heart and I appreciate all you have done to point out why humanity is bad and why human nature is one of immorality and evil as people continue to cut down trees to build shelter and fish for salmon to feed themselves. Just awful.

I think it's a little of both. We adapt our environment to fit our needs, rather than adapting to fit the environment like everything else does. With so many people adapting the environment, it's no wonder we have such a HUGE impact.
