I think it's important for Christians to keep in mind that the world is not now how God intended it to be. My argument is humans and nature are inextricably connected already and that nature can be properly managed and we can learn to manage it better. But we can't withdraw from nature, as if nature would be a good thing if only we weren't there. Just as pets are an example of human-animal partnership, a garden is an example of human and nature partnership. Look at Yellowstone, for example.
Every acre is managed, however well or poorly.
But we know we are responsible for that area, and I think that's going to happen to most of the wild areas. You need ecological experts. You need scientific data. This is probably the most controversial aspect of my essay. So many people today romanticize the wolf, and I have a real problem with that.
