I remember that quote but it's not backed by reality. Plenty of mammals haven't reached a "natural equilibrium" and are destroying fauana/plantlife unchecked.

Some examples from present time-- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbits_in_Australia, http://www.iucngisd.org/gisd/100_worst.php

According to the ideology that nature should be/have become static and that all changes are therefore due to humans, the rabbits are just a symptom of human destruction.

We live in a finite world. Equilibrium will happen. Given enough time, the rabbits will run out of food and start to die off. Or a predator will be introduced (or evolve) that will feed on the rabbits and flourish.
