So, when they existed there were mass extinctions??

That has nothing to do with it. There have been so many invasive exotics introduced and post disturbance native plant habitat has been subjected to uninterrupted succession for so long that much of native plant dormant seed is slowly being exhausted while insect biodiversity that depends upon those plants is in bigger trouble yet. I have shown that the solution set, just to keep those plants alive and reproducing, is very careful management by PEOPLE (what I've done here). When we started our project, over 80% of native biodiversity was no longer reproducing.

Apex predators run amok make that kind of work impossible. I'm already taking my life in my hands regularly, just weeding such difficult terrain.

“That has nothing to do with it.”

You are overreacting and oversimplifying.

Ever feel like a drop of water putting trying to put out a forest fire?
I like your project. It would have to be massively expanded to make a difference. Then there’s the maintenance after you and the following generations are gone.
Probably won’t happen in a free country.
