Crop agriculture is indeed one of the main drivers of wild terrestrial mammal herbivores being only a part of the current 2% global mammal biomass.
It seems that humans with a high plant content in their diet have priority over all wild herbivores, whether mammal, avian or invertebrate.

Regen ag is not a product of BigAg, it's a grass roots movement that's embarrassing a lot of so called experts.
I suggest @ipes-food.org get back in their tank and do some proper thinking.
Then maybe we might make some progress.

⚠️ Regenerative Agriculture
⚠️ Tropical Agriculture
⚠️ No Additional Warming
⚠️ Bioeconomy
⚠️ We Feed the World
⚠️ Efficiency Is Enough
Remember: industrial food systems drive 1/3 of global warming & 40% of petrochemicals.
