Very true and underrated. If the conservationists and scientists had the means to control the government, we could find a way to coexist in balance with nature (while keeping many technological creature comforts) basically forever.
There are many ways, it’s just that almost none of them are profitable, and even if some of the mare, they’re not profitable enough to be worth it to crony capitalists.
Most other currently extant species yes, planet and life in general, nah. There’s too many extremophiles out there that prove that even if we make the planet completely uninhabitable by anything even remotely resembling humans, animals, plants, etc, there will still be life in one form or another. Try and imagine what we’d have to do to screw up the planet bad enough that tardigrades would be unable to survive.
The real answer is Humans
That book The World Without Us makes a great case for that.
The best thing for the continued survival of the planet and all other species would be the extinction of the human race. Sad but true.
Extinction of capitalism. Humans existed/exist for thousands of years in harmony with their environment.
