What we discard, they inherit. On Hokkaidō’s boundary where towns meet forest, red foxes follow our leftovers to roads, bins, and machines—until habit outlives caution and the crash is inevitable. And this is no local exception, but a pattern repeated in tourist sites and parks across the world. In what we leave behind, we choose their future: coexistence, or collapse.
