Oh, I see. Yeah, all sorts of organisms can have impacts we don't like (and it is worth pointing out that biodiversity is itself a human goal).

Yes, that's what I wanted to point out, because the comment sounded like the appeal to nature fallacy (aka nature is good humans are bad). Mindlessly changing its environment for its own benefit seems to be something that every form of life tend to do, except we are smart enough to understand it's going to make us suffer, so we should improve it.
