There really is a cycle of life, an interdependency among living beings and their environment. That means that each creature has its place, and when humans, for example, act irresponsibly and destroy their habitat, destroy the water and air that keeps them alive, they commit suicide. That is what we are doing. We are destroying our own habitat.
Overpopulation is the biggest problem. That will probably lead to brutal wars in the poorest nations as people fight to survive.
Destruction of the seas, of fish, of wildlife, of the forests and water and oceans that keep fish, wildlife of all kinds alive will lead to hunger, an earth that cannot support human life or animal life to the extent that it does today.
Sorry, but environmentalists may make mistakes at times when they try to find solutions to the huge problem we humans are creating, but they are essentially very correct in their pessimism.
We have irresponsibly and cruelly tipped the scale against ourselves.
I have only to look at my own garden to see signs of environmental deterioration.
