>not separate from the earth but merely guests

We are just part of ecosystem as any other species, not guests. For example, beavers with their dams may literally ruin local ecosystem with big casualties, but they considered as something "natural" for some reason, but humans who do same are not.

Thinking that humans are different and must do something special to "preserve" others (or, on other side, to destroy others) is just an anthropocentrism. Same anthropocentrism that is criticized by pro-ecology people who are narcissic inside, because they think that humans are somewhat special and separate from nature.

In reality it doesn't matter, you can't destroy biosphere if you are biosphere, everything, including deforestation and human-driven mass extinction, is just a part of natural evolution process. Although ecological movements are part of this process to, so thinking that "we can do anything and must not care" is also wrong. Every action of humanity will be natural just by definition.
