Vanishing act

If human beings disappeared, the world would still continue on. Sure certain animal species would find life more difficult if not impossible. My point is, that the majority of the animal kingdom and the environment itself would still do quite fine without us. Now, if we lost the entirety of a certain class of animals (ie scavengers) I think the world would be alot worse off.
