Around 80 percent of the land area in Europe is used for settlement, agriculture and forestry. In order to increase yields even further than current levels, exploitation is being intensified. Areas are being consolidated in order to cultivate them more efficiently using larger machines. Pesticides and fertilisers are increasingly being used and a larger number of animals being kept on grazing land. "Such measures increase yield but, overall, they also have negative impacts on biodiversity," says UFZ biologist Dr. Michael Beckmann. "This is because even agricultural areas offer fauna and flora a valuable habitat—which is something that is frequently not sufficiently taken into consideration."
Betteridge's law of headlines says no, but is more intensive farming really crowding out native species more than less intensive farming?

Figure out your population issues on your own. We don't want any more Europeans over here. We're all about diversity now and that means no white people. Or Asians unless they're from a poor or oppressed nation; the Chinese and Japanese have too much privilege.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

Transsexual whites and Asians are OK for now.
And your government seems keen on bringing at least one white person from London.

He's from Australia, and if we can teach him how to cook, and shit in a toilet, we should keep him, somewhere
