This meme uses the concept of "Shifting Baseline Syndrome" to critique how human activity is currently destroying ecosystems so rapidly that we will never know what nature used to look like anymore. From a reforestation perspective, it warns that unless we actively work to restore biodiversity just as it was in 1800 or 1950, future generations will be incapable of recognizing the richness of our environment. It illustrates how simple human activities have stripped away wildlife over time, creating a "lost baseline" where a lush forest from 1800 has simply been replaced by a barren landscape by 2020.
