That is for certain. Unfortunately, we as a species tend to cluster in coastal areas and highly fertile, humid plains, both of which are biomass and biodiversity hotspots. And we also got everywhere instead of living in just a few dense regions.
If we all decided to build cities in deserts and also grow our food there, our ecological footprint would be several times smaller. Plenty of cheap solar energy as an incentive too.
