Changes in Nature After the Siege: Venice Canals Are Crystal Clear, Stray Dog Clusters in City Centers
Recently, in many cities, both domestically and internationally, closed-style management has been carried out, and the lively streets and alleys are now quiet and deserted. I originally thought they would become desolate, but unexpectedly, a piece of vitality appeared.
In Italy's Venetian water town, closed-style management has greatly reduced pollution, and the water in the city canals has become incredibly clear. The city buildings also blocked the surging tides, so fish groups regarded this place as a haven from the storm, and more and more fish groups even attracted feeding swans.
Similarly, there are similar situations domestically, such as a few days ago, netizens photographed a large group of stray dogs in the city center, which was impossible before. This may be because stray dogs originally roaming in the suburbs have expanded their activity range and come to empty city streets to forage and play. At the same time, the original city managers were busy with anti-epidemic work and had no time to take care of them.
Actually, changes are also quietly happening in our own residential areas, such as flowerbeds and greenbelts that were originally tended to have grown a lot of weeds. These so-called weeds are actually what nature belongs to and are very well adapted to the local environment. Those carefully cultivated weak flowers and flowers can't compete with them.
Although most cities' closed-style management did not last long, nature seems to have already started 'rebooting'. Like Chernobyl and Fukushima, Japan, have long become wild animal paradises, and even wild horse herds have returned.
For nature, maybe we humans are the so-called 'virus'...
