The problem is that other species, while having the will to survive, have limited means to ensure their survival. Humans, either through evolution or some theological action, has the capability of making significant changes to the environment, that affect other species greatly, with out necessarily having the wisdom to make such decisions.

Some would consider this capability an advantage, others a scary liability.
