At an even faster pace, humanity is urbanizing - and this voluntary movement is taking people out of the vast and potentially endangered forests and other biomes faster than population increase replaces them. Land is becoming abundant again. So what's wrong?

A lot. 140 million acres of forest and 50 million acres of range land are at risk of catastrophic fire. Weed infestations cover most of the country. Thousands of miles of savanna land is being converted to desert. Most of it is due to the very rural depopulation trend he lauds.

Without people on the land, it can't be cared for. It's a huge problem.

“Without people on the land, it can’t be cared for. It’s a huge problem.”

Unless the people are being prevented from occupying the land, then no its not. WHY DO EVEN CONS THINK EARTH NEEDS CARING FOR? Earth will eventually kick our asses. In the mean time we adjust to the earths adjustments to about a billion adjustments it has to make. Way way way down the list of things it has to adjust to is us.
