Which, while terrible to see the loss, gives me some hope that we have less power over nature than we think. A housing suburb is undeniably a less wonderful place than the forest it replaced. But life will inevitably find a way to colonise that suburb. Black birds and Camel crickets bring me hope. But I wish we would stop burning down rainforests and building boring suburbs.

Agreed, though with the notable exception of my own housing suburb, which I prefer over whatever it may have replaced.

I am under the impression that rain forests are primarily burned down for cattle ranching or cattle feed.
