It also helps not being a hellhole of dictatorship. I know so many younger people with russian origins here in Germany, who (or whose parents) might have stayed in Russia if it wasn’t a bloody dictatorship. More babies are not helping if everybody who can is fleeing the country at the first opportunity

But … why? There is a lot of reason to not put humans first everywhere. Having a natural ecosystem with biodiversity, wolves and even bears is totally preferable to some guys being able to hike through every forest everywhere.
