If you want to see Flora or Fauna, just look it up on your IDevice.

Australia managed to survive for thousands of years
until people moved in and upset the balance.
ie even if you replanted with "different" species, unless its managed, fuel will build up and it will burn.

Nth Europe doesnt have lots of big fires because it doesnt have long dry summers. Watch what happened in Greece/Spain etc recently and you will see that it still burns given the right conditions.

Agree. It's us humans that should be adapting to the environment, not the other way around.
