Why the disbelief? You are literally describing the process of species extinction due to failure to adapt. This should not be a new concept.

If not nature.... where do you get diversity from?

It seems such hybris to believe that mere humans have a better handle on what 'nature' needs, than, er, nature.

The embedded idea is both guilt-ridden and egotistic. Amazing destructive humans are harming 'nature' (antropomorphised) but other, good humans are here to redress the balance by doing this or that. At which point, whatever is there is no longer 'nature' but some sort of themed garden.
