What surprice me in this discussion going on over in USA is that IF we are
talking about a return of the native nature .. WHY are we then only talking
about ornamentals? DOes not make sence too me -- what about any food plants
that also are imported? Or animal?
I think it is not possible to 'preserve' nature- I live in a part of the
worl that I know have been through great changes regarding nature .. and
know that is a rule is still will do - even if there were no man living
here. Climate has changed from time to time - we have had iceage - and when
it melted plants 'invaded' -- to a very much warmer climate a few thousands
years ago .. to colder again last 500 years .. I do not know which
direction we are heading - I just now that preseving out nature and climate
is impossible .. but nature has another rythm in her 'life' tham we have so
as human.
have a ncie easter all.
