Strictly speaking animals often wreck other animals habitats, whether elephants knocking down trees or insects devouring fields. We’re just particularly good at it.
Those elephants and insects are part of those habitats. Local life has evolved taking that sort of thing into account. Knocked down trees and devoured fields are par for the course, just as brush fires destroying miles and miles of houses are par for the course in human habitats.
Humans are the only species that go into a habitat not to live, but to strip it of its resources or to dump our refuse and destroy the local circle of life.
BUT, on the bright side of humanity, we also love animals so much that we take them into our homes, feed them, play with them and even clean up their crap. Even people who can't stand people often find room in their hearts for other animals.
We're thoughtless and careless a lot of the time, but we're basically good.
