I actually soft hate every version of this meme, even the cute ones (this is cute). The planet is not endangered by human activity. The most endangered being from human activity is humans. We need to think of fixing this less as a favor to the planet spirit and more as a basic survival issue.
Plus the whole "we are the virus" framing smacks of Malthus and just opens the door to "which people are most the virus and who do we get rid of?"
The most endangered from human activity is all life. There is a massive die off happening and will only get larger impacting all plants and animals.
But you're right, the planet will still be here once we're (and everything else) is gone.
