Yea, the only way I could see them intervening is if they were acrively against unnatural extinctions, and even that requires them to differentiate between the actions of species and the actions of physical objects (and to have such a distinction in concept in the first place). If they viewed humanity as akin to a bacterial infection about to destroy the host planet, I could see such a hypothetical species taking action.
Funnily enough about conservation of energy… it actually doesn’t hold up on the cosmic scale! It’s only true of closed systems, and the universe is a very open system. I forget the intricacies, though. PBS SpaceTime had an episode on the very topic some months ago.
