Humans have been altering nature for thousands of years – to shape a sustainable future, it’s important to understand that deep history
Humans can slow and, perhaps, reverse the ecological harms that they have caused, but Earth will never return to some past pristine state. Nonetheless, I believe that history can help humans save Earth’s remaining wild, natural places that, along with cultural icons like Notre Dame, tell the stories of who we are.
