Human beings are a product of nature and form a part of whatever ecosystem they are in. However, people can have a significant impact on the ecosystem in two ways.
First, because there are so many people they outnumber all except insect and microscopic lifeforms. A large number of any creature has a large impact on any ecosystem. Imagine the effect of thousands of rats or millions of grasshoppers if they descended on one place. Cities are a permanent collection of millions of people in one place.
Second, people are capable of changes to the environment on a far vaster scale than other creatures, especially with the effects of heavy industry. To an extent, this is also due to concentration of production. Making a small fire makes only a small impact; burning tons and tons of coal or gasoline has a huge one. But people are also capable of making more changes as individuals than other creatures can because of their their technological achievements, and have a tendency to do so for their own limited purposes without much consideration of the broader picture.
Any change to an ecosystem whether by humans or other natural factors causes other effects to the system. These changes can make the environment inhospitable for other species, endangering them and sometimes causing them to be extinct. As humans change the world to suit their own convenience they constantly decrease the diversity of possible habitats and thus the diversity of life. This, in turn, disactivates some of the safeguards built into the system and harms its resilience.
