Obviously humans remained, but lightening could have ignited the overgrowth as well. As a forester, MM understands conservation better than many who are well intentioned, but ignorant. * * *

That is an amazing story, but the consequence chain is not particularly surprising. It always happens like that when people who think they are smarter than common sense try to mess with the law of unintended consequences. This same kind of people managed to do away with sport hunting of elephants. Their intentions were to save the elephants, but instead they wrecked the local economy that was built up around them. Now instead of sport hunting they have ivory pirates and warlords. I have no desire to hunt elephants nor to hunt in Africa at all, but this is the type of thing that happens.
