If Life is Meaningless Anyway, then What's Wrong with Religion?

[Whateverist]

I'm not sure why you think this would be an example of the above.  We manage our wildlife resources.  Why do you not see -this- as a role that human beings play in the ecosystem?  Human beings are, in your example...improving the ecosystem, by the metrics you seem to be using for improvement.  We do this intentionally and unintentionally for a variety of species.

Seriously?

There would be no need for management if humans were out of the picture, they certainly are not building the platforms for the bears. Also which species is doing all the over fishing?

No means of management is more like it.  Then various forms of life would simply go on impinging on one another to achieve a dynamic balance.  There would still be extinction events and catastrophes to recover from, but I suspect a widely diverse biome would be better able to bounce back faster.
