Not sure if I can agree with this statement. We create more problems than we solve, it's a vicious circle. We create a problem, fix problem and create new ones in the process. The major driving force of change on our planet now is humans. Pre-humans, geological, cosmic and climate changes were the major driving force, but not now. Those processes took eons of time, humans do it in a fraction of time. Look at the issue at hand - "wild horses" in Alberta - horses evolved and went extinct in NA; horses migrate to Asia and continued to evolve, humans domesticated them and then brought them back to NA thousands of years later; humans kill off the bison, drive elk and grizzly's into the mountains, plant foreign grasses for food; now the "domestic" horses have escaped and "re-taken" land there extremely distant relatives once inhabited and are "competing" with animals that have called that land home for thousands of years; humans say oh crap we need to fix this, but surely we have to have the best of all worlds - big mess, all created by us, imo. Species have come and gone off our planet since life first began, maybe it is all part the "bigger" plan of the universe, who knows lol
