A key difference, possibly not the main one between humans and other organisms is that we take much more than we need, eventually exhausting resources around us giving nothing or very little back to the planet developing no equilibrium with the world around us and other organsims in it.

That is the reason why we are going to travel to other worlds, most likely and hopefully before we destroy earth.
We may destroy new worlds as well, but at that point we should be able to colonize multiple worlds.
If we don't do it on time, yes, we will be extinct.
