IIRC, in that show (Beyond Man....thanks eric) a computer simulation depicts what happens to a city in the absence of man. at an alarming rate, it decays to a point at which you could barely tell anything was there.
on the flip side however, as we have learned from such epic movies like "terminator", sometimes the smallest man made perturbations will cause the great ripple effects in the future. so despite all my mumbo jumbo up top, we need to keep sheperding our slice of heavan as we see fit and maybe, long after we're gone, some dramatic good will arise from our effort.
