Thoughts at the end of Biochemistry

Biodiversity is the fullness of life. Its a fact that with lessened biodiversity there is lessened health and prosperity for all organisms. With the processing power of a human brain, our species can question, study, and prove this fact yet it seems to be our primary directive in existence to oppose and destroy biodiversity.
For generations pests, weeds, germs, and other inconvenient and misunderstood species have been targets, seen as counter to our perfectly human world. With pesticides, antibiotics, Round Up, and disinfectants we obliterate the diversity that keeps us and our planet healthy.
So, on one hand, we see humans obliterating biodiversity for the sake of clean plastic control and then on the other side of our impact on biodiversity, we exert control in the way we carelessly move around, reorganize, and disrupt patterns in nature that preserve biodiversity.
Recently an Israeli space probe crashed into the moon's surface leaving a mess of space junk as well as thousands of tiny, hibernating moss-piglets- Tardigrades. This story reminds me of the countless other ways humans have disrupted pristine eco-systems for our own comfort or curiosity. In the ponds speckled around the hills where I grew up you used to be able to find 4 species of salamanders, a native turtle, birds, and chorus frogs, and fish galore. Sadly, I mostly only know this from natural history texts and a very few actual sightings of these native species. When settlers came to California for the Gold Rush, they brought with them dozens of brand new organisms- some by accident and some intentionally.
One of those brought intentionally was the bull frog, a large amphibian that, for many decades, was a delicious food staple for colonists. Ever tried frog legs? They taste like chicken, honestly, with a hint of pond scum. We introduced this new species into our stock ponds and they quickly multiplied and spread all over the state. Bull frogs are very aggressive, voracious amphibians. They will eat pretty much anything- including all of our native water dwelling creatures, plus some that live on land and fly as well! Bull frogs will eat baby turtles, full grown birds, gophers, and other frogs and still be hungry for more.
I think about the bull frog when I imagine the Tardigrades on the moon. Sure, theyre dehydrated without much chance of being re-animated and brought back to life in the dry desolation of the moons surface. But who knows? Evolution might get mischievous, conditions may change, or there might be some other unknown factor about the moons environment that, in the next 100 years, allows Tardigrades to take over an ecosystem that they were never ever meant to be a part of.
Far fetched, yes. But I see it as the perfect science fiction metaphor for our complete, and often devastating, impact on biodiversity.
