Uuffff.. I get it where the article is trying to go, but "..the pigs exist a little too much." Well, we rape nature, we unbalance natural order and when there are 50-100 more pigs we need to slaughter them. In cases like that what comes to mind is the Hubris, Atis, Nemesis, Tisis. (https://www.greecehighdefinition.com/blog/hubris-atis-nemesis-tisis-ancient-greece https://www.greecehighdefinition.com/blog/hubris-atis-nemesi...). We (humans) 'contaminated' the island with pigs and other animals and we were a-ok while they were ravaging other species. Now they are annoying us we need to take swift and firm action and eliminate them. I am looking forward to a future where the cities will be under a self-sustainable 'dome' and everything between those cities will be wilderness/jungle, we will let nature take over.

"I am looking forward to a future where the cities will be under a self-sustainable 'dome' and everything between those cities will be wilderness/jungle, we will let nature take over." This strikes me as a similar idea to 1970s sci-fi with its "arcology" super high-rise vertical cities. It hasn't happened yet because it makes too much sense but isn't a solution that makes the most $$$/humanity is far too selfish. Hope I'm wrong but I don't think you'll live to see your dome :(

  Just wait- mass prevalence of humans drives mass adaption of anti-human counter measures by oncologic systems. Ambrosia everywhere..

  That, we haven't figured out any viable way to produce the sort of energy necessary to feed humanity without harvesting the sun, which is very greedy in terms of area.
