Luxuria

What would happen if mankind suddenly disappear from earth? Trying to imagine the answer has fascinated people since the dawn of time. What is interesting is that our answers vary in the same time that our society changes and evolves. The first thing to come to mind is that vegetation is going to spread and take back what’s his own on swallowing all human constructions. Indeed, this change is the most impressive and visual one that will come first. It’s not a surprise if the illustration of the word « abandon » always refer to a very old castle recovered by mold and ivy. But that won’t be the only change. Since their first appearance, human beings had a huge impact on the planet. From restructuring the shape of the earth to changing the composition of its atmosphere. It is impossible to say precisely how much time it will take for the flora and fauna to overcome the damages made by Men. The examples of Chernobyl and of the atoll of Johnston in the pacific where the American government had 12 nuclear warheads explode are nowadays the places on earth where the biodiversity is the strongest. This shows us that life will always find an extraordinary way to survive and blossom. Imagine, in 500 years, forests will be back in the state they were more than 10 000 years ago!
