Loss of Nature

I agree with the idea that we have lost the original meaning to the word "nature". Humans have made such a major impact on the world and therefore have caused a lot of changes to occur. There are very few places in this world that man has not been to or explored. Even though many humans want to preserve nature, we still manage to destroy parks of it. For example, there are many nature trails that were built for people to experience "nature". This seems like a good idea, but is it really "nature" if the animals are used to seeing humans and there is some trash and other signs of humans along the trail? I don't think it is because "nature" to me does not have human influences. Wild animals should not be used to humans and they should not have to live in human trash. The growth of human population has caused a decrease in what is considered "nature". Because of humans, many animals have become endangered or extinct and many ecosystems have become almost nonexistent because humans have destroyed them in order to build houses and businesses. I also don't think that we can save the original "nature" even if we tried. Humans have made such a big impact and have caused the demise of so many things that it is hard to imagine what it was like in America when the pilgrims first inhabited this land.
