As we know, human beings are in fact animals.  We are of nature and we are nature.  We are as much nature as plants and other animals. What is it that makes us different from other animals then?

 It is our advanced minds that seperate us from nature (or vainly attempt to).  Nature, from which humans attempt to diverge from is OUR true nature as humans.  Our true nature is essentially Jesus Christ, it is Buddha nature.
