People are trying to control, exploit, and use nature in every way imaginable. We are building dams, creating new types of plants and animals and cutting trees to build cities. And nature seems to give in…or does it? We are sorry to break it to you, fellow humans, but we can’t really just sit back and relax. When we least expect it, nature fights back and shows us who really is boss. Sometimes, it manifests itself in small things. You can see it for yourself in the compilation below.
