I think knowing that people have been actively managing whole landscapes and ecosystems for as long as people have existed should inspire hope. Climate Change isn't insurmountable and a lot of damage can be repaired. If we want more vibrant and ecologically diverse landscapes in the future, we have the ability to make that happen. Even without a well coordinated global effort emissions growth is slowing, and declining in many places. In the US emissions have been declining for 15 years, and that's almost entirely driven by market forces and technology. Even a modest coordinated effort will make a huge difference over the coming decades.
