Rewilding + fewer children = happier Earth

Ocean acidification is the seventh of nine planetary boundaries that Earth has crossed. Urban sprawl, accelerated global warming and drought are reducing productivity on the remaining grasslands of the High Plains and Mountain West so if some Republicans are angry about rewilding that means it's the right thing to do.

None of the advocates for lower population interviewed by NPR favor efforts that force people to have fewer kids, like China's infamous "One Child" policy, which ended in 2016. Instead they support access to reproductive freedom, family planning information, and contraception. [Could smaller families 'rewild' the planet — and make humans happier?]
