And don't say humans, too obvious, too cynical.

I'd delete mosquitos.

The only negative effect I can think of would be fish won't have mosquito larvae to eat and their diet would have to shift.

    Beavers. Just the mere sound of rushing water triggers their damn building instincts (scientists tested this). Just let the environment be itself.

      Beavers are immensly important for the environment for that very instinct. Where they go instinct, the land dries out and floods become much more severe.

          Fun thing is nature always copes. When we've lit the atmosphere on fire and been killed off by climate change, chances are long after we're gone life will persist and leave us irresponsible children behind.

          It's beautiful, in a way.

          Not as good lol. Nature is constantly evolving and improving and beavers are such an improvement.

            Nature is just a process of change. There is no improvement or deterioration, and it's not building towards some final goal or state.

      Btw even if it wasn't intentional this is the funniest thing I've seen today, "damn building instincts" had me in tears.

      I'm sorry if this is rude, I'm glad we had a pleasant exchange.
