No, of course it isn't. Very robust ? I wouldn't argue with that, but remember, our sun is going to burn out eventually and long before that earth and everything on it will be reduced to a frozen gob of solar spittle, which with the passage of enough time will eventually be reduced to a large, thinly spaced cloud of microscopic space dust.

Additionally, while humans appear to be having detrimental impact on the natural world at the moment, so did the dinosaurs in their time, but they're gone now and so quite probably will humans be some day and nature will quite probably plod on without us for a very long time before finally being extinguished by the big freeze.

And in the meantime the BARRED OWL is still being easily found in Two Rivers Park near the mouth of the Snake River in the lower Columbia basin on the North American continent on planet earth.
