Preceding the arrival of humans
Were forests and the broad savannah
A pristine wilderness
With a balanced ecosystem
Then humans moved in
Cut down the forests
Plowed up the savannah
Overworked and overgrazed the land
Year after year
The soil quality deteriorated
Until the wind blew away the topsoil
And left in its wake
An ever-expanding desert
The legacy of the human presence.

I would like to translate this poem
It is my understanding that consideration is being given to adding a new age: The Anthropocentric. Since the industrial revolution, our environment has been radically altered. Once we are gone, the world will recover.
Without doubt. the earth will recover and flourish after humans become extinct.
