Acknowledging humans as part of Nature does not and cannot justify our ever-growing footprint.

For James Lovelock the answer is clear: “All attempts to rationalize a subjugated biosphere with man in charge are as doomed to failure as the similar concept of benevolent colonialism. They all assume that man is possessor of this planet, if not the owner, then the tenant.”
