I think humans do care about wildlife. We don't care a lot, but we do care a little. Some people try to protect wild animals, feed them, rescue sick or injured ones, etc.

I think if we had super advanced technology and AI, we would do more. And certainly if we found other intelligent beings that were like us. We would probably do what we could to share technology with them. Or at least medicine and food.

I do doubt aliens would want resources. They might want our solar system to colonize with their own kind though. If they have population growth, then that is a serious issue. Or to build dyson spheres and computers out of our solar system. Or they might want to eliminate us because we could grow into a threat in the future. Etc.

There is little reason to not interact with us unless they are totally indifferent to the outside world.
