The wildlife evolved to operate in an ecosystem with other wildlife that building alone makes impossible.

I don't buy into the idea that they can just 'balance' it without many of the species.

You can't tell deer to stop eating what they like, or raccoons to stop breeding / living in denser populations in suburban areas.

We're already messing up the balance massively by existing.

The point here is to reduce the harm we are already doing.
