It's bc we moved away from nature - to the cities, that we allowed the environmental destruction to occur.
Had we all been rural still - and as bored as you get out there, we would've noticed more of the incremental stuff first hand.
A sole conversation with your family "outdoorsman" - typically a boomer tho, if so you gotta be real careful they don't realize your asking about climate change or else all you will hear is the stories about that one time in 67 it got this cold before - totally normal.
If you can have a candid conversation with someone that has spent a life outside about how different things are today - you will hear lots and lots of things.
It's possible that someday all the animals alive left in the world will either be our livestock or as our pets/entertainment.
Already today to many people most animals exist only in zoos or on TV. The city removed us from nature physically and conceptually.
Plus it's convenient that all that "forest and woodland" you think is "safer" is owned by somebody that wants you to stay in the city.
Try to leave the city. Where I live all the same farm families buy every bit of land that is sold as even remotely agricultural - many have accumulated 10-20 "homesteads" - original farms with a house and garage etc...
They rip out all of the buildings and plow it down. They used to sell the house and buildings as its own thing - they don't do that anymore.
It's not about money. It's about keeping everyone else away - in the cities.
