A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less.

It's likely that in 1000 years the earth will still be here. It will still be beautiful. There will still be life here. Nature always finds a way.

Whether we the human race will be here to witness it and appreciate it is less certain.
