Except it really doesn't even seem like he's done that much. Really by what they've shown us, I'd say humanity's continued survival has been almost if not entirely its own doing. Ozpin hasn't shown a single sign of proactivity or urgency, even after the Fall of Beacon, which is unfathomably idiotic.

Either Ozpin is a failure as a leader, or RT are failures as writers, which there is considerable evidence towards. To be fair, it took a long time to convince even Oscar to go to Mistral. And Leo has betrayed him and Mistral hunstmen are all dead, so, so far, there's not much he can do, besides train the new generation. I guess he could call huntsmen from outside Mistral, but time is weird in RWBY - team RNJR has been training for almost a month, yet Qrow just figured out the other huntsmen are dead... Also, we don't know how long it would take for others to get to Mistral
