I had interfered natural processes with my theories and proved my theories were far too shallow - not taking multiple dependency into account. I also learned that the basis for calculating what best for one was not necessarily the same for another. Sigh!

I used to keep animals (and plants, in cage), now I leave food for them here and there, and just watch them come and their numbers grow. [Another theory for reforestation: ‘give food and safety then an ecosystem will establish itself’. Another human nature: we can’t stop meddling. ;-) ]
