Fragile species will continue to be in decline. Long term, large species will remain in protected environments like national parks. The idea that humans are incapable of protecting larger species is belied by a visit to Yellowstone.
Our living environments create opportunities for well-adapted species to flourish. This will certainly shift the makeup of our planet's biodiversity.
You mention all of this in passing, but I think these effects make the prognosis on biodiversity somewhat less than "very grim".
