Earth without humans nature prevails from "summary" of The World Without Us by Alan Weisman
In the absence of our species, the world we have come to dominate would slowly revert to a state where nature reigns supreme. Without humans to shape the landscape and alter ecosystems to suit our needs, the Earth would begin to heal itself from the scars of our presence.
Buildings and structures that once stood as monuments to human ingenuity would crumble and decay over time, succumbing to the relentless forces of nature. Plants and animals would reclaim the urban environment, turning cities into lush, green forests where once there was only concrete and steel.
In the oceans, marine life would flourish without the constant threat of overfishing and pollution. Coral reefs would have the opportunity to recover, providing vital habitats for a diverse array of sea creatures. The absence of plastic waste and chemical pollutants would allow marine ecosystems to thrive once more.
On land, forests would grow unchecked, reclaiming the land that was cleared for agriculture and development. Species that were on the brink of extinction would have a chance to rebound, free from the pressures of habitat destruction and human interference. The balance of nature would be restored as ecosystems readjust to a world without human intervention.
As time passes, the traces of our civilization would gradually fade away, swallowed up by the relentless march of nature. Our impact on the Earth would become nothing more than a distant memory as the planet returns to a state of equilibrium, with or without us. The world without humans is a world where nature prevails, reclaiming its rightful place as the dominant force on Earth.
