What makes human life more important than elephant or whale life? Just because we have the ability to destroy other species and their homes doesn't mean we should.
Our sentience and our intelligence gives us the power to do so. There is no right and wrong when it comes to the natural order. Generally its every species goal to get to the maximum sustainable population. Since we can control our food stores we can grow as far as we want.
This is true. Although, I think we're already above our maximum sustainable population and are killing other species because ours has got out of hand. Shouldn't we be using our intelligence to help/protect other species and the planet, which will in turn benefit future humans?
Modern civilisation and advanced technology are as natural as wild animals

For curiosity's sake? Sure they are nice to keep around. Though they are not vital for human survival.

Nor are virtual reality goggles or robots that can write poems. So why are we destroying so much to create them?

Because it's fun also it gives us something to do. It seems that human boredom will be nature's downfall.

Aye, I agree with that one.
