> We are reducing this planet's capacity to support any wildlife at rapid speed If this is happening then of course it is a problem. Note that I was specifically asking about the species count being a problem. I am not asserting that organism count declining isn’t a problem. The former isn’t exactly a proxy for the latter, since by definition near-extinct species don’t contribute much to the organism count.
