However, ecosystem is an abstract notion, its participants that make an ecosystem are not abstract. An ecosystem consists of the living material/ objects as well as non-living components. Within living we can emphasize all organisms including, the most importantly human beings and other animals and plants surrounding us.
As far as non-living objects are concerned, we an mention all the components present in hydrosphere, soil, and atmosphere.
SO, If you are talking about " the self destruction of ecosystem", you will have to take all these things into consideration and have to look into the fact how negatively these components; living and non-living, can cotribute to " ecosystem destruction.
So, simply to answer you question I would say....yes, self destruction of ecosystem is obviously possible and that is what exactly is taking place nowadays, but noway is it an "automatic" destructive process within an ecosystem but as a result of negative contribution (impact) of its components.
Simply speaking, It is due to a diverse or negative impact of all the present components activity present within the eosystem.
The biggest negative contributer is the HUMANS and their negative impacts on the ecosystem, that cause this self destruction of ecosystem.
Some direct and biggest causes are erosion, habitat destruction or shift, heavy population growth, increasing global warming, urbanization and other human made impacts.

There are islands called Salomon islands. This place is a vivid example of such rapid self-eco-destruction.
Here is a link that explains the causes behind it and also finds some ways to stop such destruction.
