How are the native animals gonna thrive when we have cats, rabbits, and cane toads? How's the Lesser Bilby gonna thrive when invasive cats and foxes introduced by humans already killed them all?
We're already in the middle of the Holocene extinction event, Earth's sixth mass extinction. It's already started. Humanity (or more accurately, Europeans) are the next Chicxulub.

The planet couldn't give two shits about whether somethings a "native" species or a foreign invader. The surviving organisms left behind after this event are going to expand, diversify and evolve, just like all the other times. *edit: I think I had a stroke while writing the last paragrapb*
