A sand county almanac.

I liked how the author was describing every creature, plant, tree, flower, bush that existed in the prairies way before time when most of US was prairies and untouched by the humans. When the author was writing about the prairie land I could see the images in my head with birds chirping the land coming alive.

I guess in my theoretical question in your opinion if we humans didn’t exist do you think the earth would be at a better state meaning the original wildlife would still be there and there would be no problems of species extinction?

In my opinion if we us humans did not exist there would be nobody to appreciate the beauty of nature and all of its creatures. I think we are here on earth for a reason, we may have abused that power by being selfish to the earth and not thinking about consequences.  We are part of the ecosystems, prairies that were described in the article, we are here to appreciate all of the beauty of the nature. I always wondered how the earth would look different without us but then I started thinking that there would probably other smart creatures that would “dominate” the earth (made me think of planet of the apes movie). I feel like these days people don’t appreciate anymore what they have especially the nature around them, that you don’t need materialistic to be happy , being surrounded by the amazing beauty of mother nature is what makes me happy.
