Hey, Rachael! I agree with your views on humans encroaching on the natural boundaries of the animal kingdom. Population growth has resulted in us spreading out and taking over without regard to what that does to wildlife. We want nature in a civilized way. Just like you said, perfectly landscaped in nice, neat flower beds and perfectly trimmed hedgerows. We want nature in a totally unnatural way, which is kind of an oxymoron. I think the biggest issue is that most people probably do not even realize or care what they are doing to wildlife and the biodiversity when they have these "manufactured lawns." But as you said, humans have a fascination with controlling everything, including things much bigger and powerful than us.
