According to a study it is estimated that earth will take its full circle of 3-5 million years to get back to the level of biodiversity we currently enjoy not to mention with the toxic air, polluted water, and plastic landfills/ parched lands.

What if earth wants to cleans itself from this filth and go back to the time when modern human wasn't evolved and it was all in its beautiful lush green gardens, nurturing millions of trillion animal species.

Well, the damage is irreversible but giving earth's ability to recover it may take 5-7 million years depending on how quickly mammals recover.

Coming 20-100 years may register greater diversity loss if extinction rate doesn't dip.

Unfortunately, we turn deaf when it comes to restore our climate, flora and fauna. We might miss the chance to save Asian elephants from extinction as its chance are very thin, less than 33%, to make it to the 22nd century.
