Loss of 50% of species is really bad. Population growth and climate change will only accelerate the loss.
While I would welcome a decrease of the population of farm animals by 50% or 75%.

Besides, humans will never die out because of lack of "resources".
Instead:
- either the sun kills all intelligent life on Earth maybe in 600 million years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_of_Earth
- or ET or AI kill us.
- or some huge object from outer space collides with Earth.
IMO transhumanism will end the biological evolution of humans. Maybe as soon as this century.
