There are no isolated phenomena.

Touch is a powerful healer for all species. If corals get algae via touch, humans get the good bacteria from touch. All species have same root goals and root strategies for survival.

The rapidly increased pace of human activity over the past few centuries is completely out of synch with the pace of natural evolution on the Earth. It is same as the asteroids falling fro sky, wiping the whole ecosystem. Abrupt changes will impact all llife on Earth - flora and fauna.

But hey, we call the human activity as progress, not same as the destructive asteroids. Asteroids might have thought the same if they had intelligence.
