I take an eco view that they would be interested in our planet but not because of us. Because the whole thing is rich in an immense diversity of lifeforms to observe and study. Life is the rarest thing in the universe.
If anything we might get our shit rocked specifically to stop the rampant destruction and extinction that we are causing because alien scientists want to see & preserve that shit too.
Yes, this is well considered possibility. It would definitely be an interesting twist of the overly used invading aliens concept. It could also examine the various practices of humans attempting to do cooperative ecological development, like the archeological evidence of the Amazon being a massively curated food forest. Quite a fertile thought experiment to disentangle many elements of the human condition.
