I believe the parent was referring to the very last part of the SFU article. In full:

> “Society globally has to collectively decide that we need to drastically lower our population very quickly. More of us need to move to optimal areas at higher density and let parts of the planet recover. Folks like us have to be forced to be materially poorer, at least in the short term. We also need to invest a lot more in creating technologies to produce and distribute food without eating up more land and wild species. It’s a very tall order.”

Ah. My refusal to read press releases about scientific papers when the original is available bites me again. The press release is definitely less useful, and the quoted coauthor's quote less measured, than the original paper.
