Biodiversity loss vs. Predators

Hello all.

So, big thinker here… I’ve been thinking about permaculture and how life would be given we all adopt the permaculture way. One question that comes up for me is, when thinking about humans thriving here on earth, and how we are part of a much larger whole, where do we fit in? In a sense, do we have to choose between losing biodiversity or having predators? Is it possible to live in such a way that we are the “dominant” species (where we don’t have to worry about getting eaten by something) without losing biodiversity?

These might be some silly questions – forgive me if they are. Hopefully my word vomit is somewhat understood.

TIA
