Although I see what you are saying I still don’t agree. Smaller populations of animals are at huge risk of diseases that will wipe them out. The cheetah has had a extreme reduction in genetic diversity which is called a “bottleneck” that sadly has caused a reduction in sperm quality, focal palatine erosion and they are high susceptibile to the same highly infectious diseases. Sadly, the more we increase our population, habitat fragmentation occurs thus increasing inbreeding, leading to a further loss in genetic diversity. These factors sadly do contribute to high risk of infectious diseases wiping out the population.

Always happy to help out I enjoy your work :)
