I don't think this is the same thing, it's CO2 emissions, which of course are vastly greater in rich northern countries with a majority of the power plants, vehicles, heating, industry.
Biomass loss seems to be largely due to agriculture/fishing. Of course, again rich countries are consuming much more per capita by eating more meat etc, but what are the overall impacts, especially taking into account agricultural practices, polution-control practices, etc, around the world?
I think agricultural technology, especially factory farming (hydroponics etc), lab-grown-meat, on-land fish farming, etc, could play a big role in future reduction of our footprint - along with more responsible population growth, healthier eating habits/more vegetarian diets, worldwide ecological regulation/certification/enforcement etc.
