Not only the children- most of the city-living adults too in my opinion.
What is declared nature and what perverted- often reveals a totally warped perception.

When a re-introduced wulf hunts a sheep in a fence enclosed field, and eats it alive - that is considered acceptable nature. If a hunter would shoot said sheep outside the enclosure- that would be considered unnecessary brutal murder.
Its like we humans, ironically the more dependent and closer to nature - the more, stopped being part of nature in these peoples eyes.

I also find it really interesting to what lengths some people go to fight for nature- as in venturing out in the woods, to saw through a perch post- which is totally unnecessary violence, as simply pissing near the feeding spot would make the hunt there nonviable for about a week.

And the animals out in the forest are totally idealized Disney versions for most people. The more stylish a animal looks, the more noble it is.
Complete disregard for the "characters" out there- for example old boars, giving the "its-safe"-squeak to use young pigs as line of sight guinea-pigs for safety.

There are no deers, knowing that they are protected by hunting laws, parking there "Bambis" below the perch to protect them from foxes.

There are no animals, who loose the fear from man - or never had it. Badgers, Bears, Wulfes - all those why should they fear us, if they cant understand what we are and what tools are?

There is not contemplation for the strangeness of some of the creatures we routinely antromorphosize. There are horse-riders who do not get, the strict hierarchy that is a herd, and the spots and jobs within.
They do not understand the concept of grooming friendships (which puts you on the exact same rank, if you get groomed back, below if only you groom, above if only you get groomed).
Your horse does not know what hands are!

There are no over-testicled beasts in this world, that defend there territory against anything path-persisting.

There are no jock-groups among young animals pranking other animals.

There are no ravens "hunting" rabbits into car-traffic.

There is also no understanding on the terra-forming some animals attempt.
Bucky the beaver wants your little settlement gone and flooded. He does not need protection after two generations- your house does.

But worst of all - there is no grasping of ones own footprint. To long for a second car- and then yell at the farmer/oil-driller who allows for it to drive, that is deeply intellectually dishonest and social schizophrenia at its worst. Your Greenpeace donation does not give you absolution in anyone's eyes. Quite contrary, it marks you as a continuous sinner, with a washing machine reflex.

What i observed, that helps nature along the most - is disorder and sloppiness.
Just forget about those ten meters near the field-borders.
Just leave that part of Forrest fallen into disrepair.
Just dont harvest the fish from that pond this year.
Just leave your wife bitching about how bad everything looks behind the house.

You will be surprised, how fast, how much will have a comeback.
My dad used to be sloppy with our fish-pond- and one summer day i suddenly saw a Common kingfisher nesting there. If you want to do nature a favor, pick a spot to be protected from obsessive human compulsions on what nature has too look like.

Sorry, this turned out to be such a long post.
