The currently ongoing mass-extinction isn’t exclusive to humans, but rather caused by them. So yes the planet as in its ecosystem is dying… maybe it is not fatal in the end, but it sure is killing a lot of species.
All I meant was that life always finds a way. There have been five major mass extinction events on record, each wiping out 70 - 85% of all species. Given enough time without human interference, ecosystems will recover and stabilize.
When you really think about it, it’s insane: The Industrial Revolution and the dramatic transformation of landscapes and environments only began around 200 years ago. Yet in that short time, humanity has managed to destabilize ecosystems on a global scale and it doesn’t seem that we will stop anytime soon.
Theres evidence that the genocide of the americas caused the little ice age, so we’ve actually had great impacts even outside of industrialization, likely largely from widespread cooking and heating fires. The more of us there are, the more impact we seem to have.

There’s been plenty of mass extinctions already. Nature/life does not care if most of the species get lost.
