The World Wildlife Fund has written in its latest report (Living Planet) that 60% of wildlife has been extinct since 1970 due to rapid human use of natural resources.
These resources are "green infrastructure" such as water, land, plants and living things.
Nature, once full of life, today bears the scars of development and consumerism, where human footprints are visible not only in the formation of cities, but also in land erosion, the depletion of natural resources, and the transformation of ecosystem
perhaps human wanted to leave a trace and say that one day I was alive here.
