Terraforming?
If the idea is to let nature takes it's course, this sounds like an egregiously bad idea to me.
I don't get this. Earth moved out of the pleistocene a long time ago without any help from us. If nature is such precious resource do we relly want to fight it's natural evolution? (more irony)
In northern Siberia, Zimov and his colleagues are attempting to restore a large area of wetlands and forest to the dry landscape that existed more than 10,000 years ago. They are reintroducing herbivores and predators they think will alter the biology and ecology of the region to its previous state.First of all, we have a Wetlands Protection Act in this country -- how dare they!? OH...wait, not this country. (There is a serious irony in ther if you concentrate)
