On our side of the world, animals look on innocently (like in Disney's Snow White) and just continue to do what they do ... including cleaning up after us. Animals are always there, not that we notice, most of the time. Ultimately, it will be the power of nature and our own incompetence that saves us from breaking through. Wildlife will still be there afterwards, even if takes a few tens of thousands of years to re-evolve the diversity of species needed to stabilise the ecosystems we broke while trying to battle the force of nature.
