      Nature will survive if what you mean by ‘nature’ is that we will have a place to go that feels ‘green and natural’. However, much of the natural world is managed, such as dredging of our rivers and grazing of animals on grasslands; so, nature will continue for as long as we want it to survive and decide that conservation is a good thing. If you value something in nature, volunteer to keep it alive and healthy–because that’s the only way it survives.

      ‘Nature’ will probably always survive (unless the planet completely dies), but you’ll find that some species will go extinct if they can’t adapt to our changing environment.

      There’s no time limit in terms of the earth, but nature as we know it is dying fast. Many species have gone extinct at the hands of people. It’s time we did something to reverse the damage we are doing to the planet!
