Many species, not just apes, exhibit intelligence on a par with us—though we try to skew the criteria for intelligence to make it seem like we’re the smartest. None of them seem to be in line to convert the rest of the world into their habitat as we are doing.
We have an opportunity to prove we can behave benignly despite our biological heritage. We may never be able to stop fighting with each other, exploiting the natural world, or giving in to other primal urges, but we can stop breeding and eventually our nature will be history.

Yeah right. We can't even take care of our home planet that was in perfect working order and that we have lived with for thousands of years and have evolved a connection with and yet you think we'd do any better with an alien planet that isn't even capable of supporting us yet????
How's that gonna work???
If it's so easy to create a new earth why not just fix the one we have already???
What about in africa where there are millions and millions of people without a TV to watch at night? How are you going to stop them huh?
