I have made a long study of the elitist belief in population reduction as a matter of "sustainability" I first learned about from Henry Lamb (RIP my friend) who became something of a mentor to me. The underlying principle of the globalist "culture" is that because people can and do despoil natural landscapes that humanity is ultimately and inalterably destructive in its pursuit of ego, comfort, and/or dominance (with which they are self-righteously obsessed). This is why I embarked upon a native plant restoration project of some 25 years. I felt that true stewardship is more a matter of managing competing risks than an inherently destructive tendency. I wanted to prove them wrong.

< href="https://www.wildergarten.org/wildergarten/1trp-intro.pdf">That project has been uniquely successful. What I have demonstrated in the process is that we don't have the technologies or labor available to keep the biological systems we took from aboriginal peoples by force alive and reproducing (the part they forgot about). Humans have sustained biodiversity by managed disturbance for many millennia, to which the system became genetically-adapted and without which the consequence is slow destruction of that system by exotic species those same globalists have been principally responsible for their introduction. The best we can do now is to keep islands of native genetics alive and reproducing, the belief in Reed Noss' equally idiotic "connecting corridors" as means to sustain the system will effectively function as conduits for contagion by which the niche separation that once sustained biodiversity will be hybridized into non-existence. The belief that seed banks could suffice is simply stupid without insect or microbial symbiotes from which to learn how those life systems worked dynamically.

My goal is to teach the elitists of this world that they have made a potentially-suicidal mistake in pursuing the demise of their brethren. What we actually need is a new industry by which to sustain representative samples of island biodiversity later to move onto the landscape scale once we know more about what we are doing. There is still time to reverse course, but we don't have more than a century to do so insofar as the plants and microbes are concerned. About insects I am less sanguine, but they are remarkably adaptive.
