They are fine. When we start dying, they will still be fine.
yes, that is one side of the debate. The other side, of which there is far more evidence, is that earths resources are not "fine" ... but I do enjoy the "nuh uuh" argument when people like myself express concern about our planet.
Life is a hellhole spiral of death. It's not fair or kind, and luck is all that stands between survival and annihilation. When something pivotal to a system is worn to destruction, the entire system will adapt. In the process much more will be destroyed. Arising out of that will be the new life that perpetuates the maelstrom.
The concern over this planet is misguided. It's always about 'preserve this' or 'protect that'... never about 'does this work out efficiently?' or 'is it worth damaging another industry to do this?' Hence, this isn't a thing for which we need evidence. It is a question of progress or conserve. Naught more.
I say progress of course.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
