All this shouldn't last; but it will, always; the human 'always' of course, a century, two centuries... and after that it will be different, but worse.

If you're Maasai Mara National Park in Kenya, if you're in Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, you don't get out of your vehicle and go walking around amid the lions and the leopards.
