Trees and animals are venerated, while man is simply one more animal in the ecosystem - and largely a hindrance, not an asset.

Wildlife film-makers I know tell me that the effort to portray what looks like an untouched ecosystem becomes harder every year. They have to choose their camera angles ever more carefully to exclude the evidence of destruction, travel further to find the Edens they depict.
