Food for thought. I have seen huge changes to Australia's landscape over the last 70 years.
Just imagine for a minute, the Australian Aborigines now referred to as First Nations People, lived and looked after this continent, now called “Australia” for over 40,000 years, but it has taken only 250 years for us to almost destroy the place.
Corporate greed, “developers”, local councils, all equal urban sprawl which in turn equals destruction of “our own nest”. For what ? Economic growth !!
Humans around the world are like colonies of ants, many different cultures, different ways of life, different aspirations and directions, different survival options.
Now compare the different species of ants, some keep out of the sunlight, some build nests above ground, others live underground.
If for example, you trod on or tried to destroy a bull-ants nest, the ants would dissipate and come back to inflict a painful bite, much like humans trying to destroy another race of humans.

Why does “our system”, including all Governments, insist that we must have economic growth ?
There will become a time when economic growth will consume the planets resources, where it (the planet) will have nothing more to give. What then ?
Corporate greed, profits and enrichment will eventually come to an end.
