Humans don’t deserve this planet.

Your not wrong, but in our defence before the nuclear testing bomb testing era it was done in ignorance as a result of the coal generated industrial age and human development. I don't think we would be where we are now technology wise without that phase of our history.

Also it has been proven that the planet goes through hot and cold phases, with the ice melting and freezing again. If humans had not built the infrastructures that we are so dependant on like cities roads and all the other amenities we would just adjust and move to other regions not affected by the rising seas. We would not have the agricultural land masses to support our ever rising population.

We have advanced in medicine so much that in about a year we have made a vaccine for the latest pandemic which would have a culled a percentage of us like how previous pandemics have. With people living longer and with no large scale wars also the ability medical science now has we hammer the planets resources. Something has to give and no doubt it will, just hopefully not in our lifetimes.

'Smallest reptile on earth' discovered in Madagascar
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-55945948

Scientists believe they may have discovered the smallest reptile on earth -
a chameleon subspecies that is the size of a seed.


Two of the tiny lizards were discovered by a German-Madagascan expedition team in Madagascar.
The male Brookesia nana, or nano-chameleon, has a body of just 13.5mm.

This makes it the smallest of about 11,500 known species of reptiles, according to the Bavarian
State collection of Zoology in Munich.
Its length from top to tail is 22mm (0.86in).

The female is far bigger at around 29mm, the institute said, adding that other specimens were yet
to be located, despite "great effort".

"The new chameleon is only known from a degraded montane rainforest in northern Madagascar
and might be threatened by extinction," said the Scientific Reports journal.

Oliver Hawlitschek, a scientist at the Center of Natural History in Hamburg, said:
"The nano-chameleon's habitat has unfortunately been subject to deforestation,
but the area was placed under protection recently, so the species will survive."

Researchers found that it hunts for mites on the rainforest floor and hides from predators at night in blades of grass.
In a blog post, Dr Mark Scherz, one of the researchers involved in the discovery, called it "a spectacular case of extreme
miniaturisation".

The forests where the Brookesia were located are still well connected with others across the north of the island, he said.
"So this tiny new chameleon violates the pattern of the smallest species being found on small islands. That suggests that
something else is allowing/causing these chameleons to miniaturise," he added.

In their report, scientists recommended that the chameleon be listed as critically endangered in the International Union for
Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species to help protect it and its habitat.

The Barreleyes fish is a deep-sea creature, which usually inhabits the pelagic area of the sea, between 200 and 1000 meters deep.
One of the most astounding barreleye fish facts is that they appear to have a transparent, fluid-filled sheild that resembles a transparent
dome on top of their head. Their eyes are fixed to either look straight forward or straight up, to locate prey or predators from in front and above.
