Although not my belief but I want to start by saying that from a strictly objective standpoint, anything that humans do is just fine. It's hard for people to believe, but nuclear power plants and coal mines are 100% natural. They are no different from a group of beavers building a dam or a hive of bees building a nest.

However, and I've argued this in another thread about vegetarians, is that what makes humans different is the ability to see and choose options which give them the benefit they want, but with less negative impact on others. When people exercise that choice, it is then that they become human.

So I would say that there is almost never a situation in with a species and humans cannot find a way to coexist together if humans are the dominant species in that equation. It may be "easier" to choose the option that harms the species, but it is never necessary.
