Answer 1

Look up their religions they worshiped nature so did nothing to knowingly harm it! Sacrificed people to their gods.

Answer 2

both Incas and Aztecs utilized Nature`s forces and principles with their very sophisticated agriculture ,

that was superior to todays methods

And we in turn try to copy some of those when we speak of Permaculture

they utilized the edge effect with their chinampas using compost .

And their contribution to nature can be equated with their economic and responsible approach to agriculture

For example an Aztec warrior was only permitted by law ,to eat 3 tortillas .a woman only 2 ,a child one or a half ,These tortillas were not the ones we see today unless ones goes to the indigenous people (/i did )they were as big as a plate and one centimeter thick.

The reason for this was that corn occupies a lot of land so they had limits imposed by the rulers on the lands available for corn ,

this certainly helped Nature .

Also their religion was Nature based so they had a lot of respect for everything connected

The Inca had similar religions and with similar respects included ,their farming was on Tarazed gardens that harvested water ,and they used composting this improved the soils and contained more humidity so the surrounding environment must have benefited as well.

All Native Americans from both North central and South America worshiped gods of Nature

so they were not inclined to destroy it .
