Re: 99% of species are extinct
That's how nature works. There is no 'balance' in it and some species will die out and others will not. We might want to look at how our actions can alter ecosystems in a positive manner, but it can be fearfully complicated stuff to figure out - plenty of mistakes have been made in that regard (both on what is a positive manner and on how to do it).
Suffice to say we humans have altered and transformed our environment forcefully since we became more than hunter/gatherers and we will continue to do so.
