Nature is quickly deteriorating before us. We are currently seeing a disturbing trend of humans destroying the very environment in which we live. As painful and obscene as it may seem, us, as humans can be held accountable for a large majority of issues of significant importance concerning nature. As a global society, we mutate and contort the environment, to tailor it to a state that we see fit. Even the issue of endangered species can be blamed upon humanity. When pondering the issue of the growing existence of species across the earth, this issue can be viewed as a perfect example of man's destructive presence on earth. The result of all the turmoil caused by humanity is the ultimate mutilation of the environment, which we are currently witnessing. Humanity is the self-proclaimed hand of God, in that we place ourselves above nature, and destroy it accordingly. .
We deface and change the environment as we see fit. People today no longer consider what effect their actions will have on the natural world, but rather, a state of apathy and greed has grown to the point where money is societies" number one motivation. Every day, forests are cut down, and meadows and wetlands are filled in to make room for profitable structures. Humanity surely knows that destroying animal's natural habitat is not the right thing to do; yet our collective conscience seems to be non-existent. We do not take in to affect the possibility that our actions may potentially destroy a species when carry out acts such as the building of housing developments or wiping out forests. In fact, the only thing that we consider is the benefit of things to us; and that is a ridiculous position to take.
Another ludicrous and obscene position is the lack of concern for endangered species, which stand as the ultimate testament to man's destructive presence on earth, both to himself and toward nature. Countless species have become extinct due to hunting, pouching and pollution to simply acknowledge mere examples of environmental destruction.
