      a common definition of nature is the stuff that is untouched by humans.

      as wiktionary puts it:

      flora and fauna as distinct from human conventions, art, and technology

        Some indigenous peoples cooperate with their natural environment. Humans are fundamentally a keystone species that’s collectively gotten really bad at it, to get good at other things. We could have human conventions, art, and technology that works entirely with nature and our environment rather than against it. Between these facts, I’m not a fan of that definition.
