No, humans are not part of nature. In common use, "Nature" is the relatively
stable ecological system of the pre-industrial world. This pre-industrial
environment is rapidly being consumed by humans, even as they extoll its
virtues in art and literature. Unless blinded by their self interest, most
people appreciate the tragedy of its destruction. Children have little
problem appreciating this.

Humans ARE part of the environment, but this environment has not reached
any sort of equilibrium. Time will tell what a steady-state environment
including human impact will look like, but indications are that it will be
horribly degraded both functionally and aesthetically.
