Why can’t society and nature exist in harmony with each other?

Having appeared on Earth, people began to destroy the harmony of nature. People are killing animals, cutting down forests, standing at home. All this disturbs the peace of nature, destroys the ecosystem. Purely theoretically, people can live in harmony with nature, but then technical progress will have to be forgotten, since only societies that have not been touched by progress are capable of this. There are still captives on Earth who believe in natural Gods and worship them, but they live primitively, like thousands of years ago. They have no electricity, sewage and much more.
