Somehow, someway, yes there is a positive human impact
After the humans take the land and rip it apart for mining purposes they leave it. However, now some mining companies are fixing the soil back up and letting it grow back to sometimes better shape then it was in previously. This can attract more animals to the place than before, but only in some instances.
Fixing some of the forest
Our government offers tax reductions and other incentives if lumber companies replant seeds throughout the forested land that they chopped down. Even though it will take 10 years to grow back some of the trees if not more, its the thought that counts. Start planning tourism in the future, as the future of forests are looking brighter and brighter.
