Not wanting to appear arrogant, "Habitat loss" is the same as "The
introduction of a non-native species", and "Deliberate hunting" is almost
the same... "Introduction of a non-native predator".

The idea that man is destroying nature rests upon the false notion that
man is not part of nature. Every species but the first is non-native at some
level. Right now, some non-native frog, having had it's egg shat in a puddle
by some migratory bird, is eating the last of a rare species of grasshopper.

As it stands, man is the only species who has ever purposely done
anything to conserve "nature".
