But it also reveals so much about the environments we create and how those environments encourage particular species, often completely without our knowledge.
And then we're like, oh my goodness, all of these deer are here.
How could this possibly have happened?
It's interesting.
You said that we have to set up these rules, right?
What I find important is that right now we set up a lot of rules that are designed for humans, right?
They are designed for human environments.
They are designed for interacting with other humans, right?
We don't set up rules for interacting with animals, in part because we don't understand them.
We do, of course, set up some rules.
There are laws around like the hunting and trapping of animals, etc.
But what I'm talking about is something that I learned from indigenous peoples.
One of the people who I spoke to about this and what he told me was Neil Patterson.
That's him.
And what he told me was that invasive species and pests are animals for which we do not have a treaty.
And the idea is that for many Indigenous peoples, there are treaties that they have with animals and with things, with water and rocks and trees, in their environments.
These are not written treaties.
They did not go up to a tree and say, hey, would you sign this treaty?
That's not what they mean.
What they mean is they have understandings.
