Should we humans use our strength (intelligence) to help nature?
In the video you see an example of humans helping an animal in need.
I ask myself this sometimes.
When I see an animal in trouble I try to help it. In pain I carry a hedgehog off the street, I take a weakened raven home with me, or I try figuring out why a female duck stands on the street at night and won't stop quacking. It didn't even try to flee from me, it bit me and insisted on staying on the street.
But should I do this?
Some people say we should not intervene in nature. But we humans with our intelligence are part of nature. Nature made us.
What is your stance on this?

In fact scientists refer to this period now as the “Holocene extinction” which is the 6th mass extinction event in earth’s history - and this time it’s not asteroids or volcanoes - it’s us: https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/2017/jul/10/earths-sixth-mass-extinction-event-already-underway-scientists-warn So people who try to argue that we shouldn’t intervene in nature to save animals - it’s way to late for that. I see no harm in helping animals out when we can - chances are we are responsible for killing off most of their species anyway.
