Who causes this much devastation to the landscape? Surely
the wildlife won’t make this much mess on their approach to the water? They’d
probably want to cover their tracks so that predators wouldn’t be able to
follow them. But they’d also want a trail where there’s so scent of any danger.
And if there was some way of encouraging predators to use the same trail every
time; they would have plenty of safe options, as predators like the path of
least resistance to preserve their energy for the hunt. These could be the tracks
of humans attempting to tame the landscape. It’s worn down over time with
footsteps tramping down the grass, tyres rolling over them and dirt being redistributed.
I wonder if a canyon will eventually be created over time. They’ll have to rope
off the area to stop people wearing down the trail which will cause
restrictions to the wildlife but will let a new one develop which will allow
the first trail to recover.
