And millions of animal species occupying thousands of ecological niches are being replaced by 10 species across the planet: humans, the animals that humans eat, and the animals humans keep as pets. Even if the quantity of biomass is relatively constant, I think we can all agree that a planet with only humans and cows and chickens is a pretty bleak outcome.
