I don't see how it is "most logical". It seems more logical to me for humans to stop destroying our ecosystem than it is to limit the number of humans that destroy. Probably the answer is "both" anyway, but even if we divided the number of humans by 2, our impact on the ecosystem would still be crazy high (assuming the impact decreases linearly, which is probably not the case)

On current level of average quality of life in the US one can’t stop destroying ecosystem. Each person in US needs a home. Heat, water, electricity and waste disposal for that home. A phone, likely a vehicle. Fresh food - a lot. QoL levels are rising worldwide, so eventually each human on earth will demand all of these things. You can’t consume significantly less (not 10x less). To achieve that you would need to became a caveman again.
