That was my thought too. 2 data points, and 1 is a guess (forest cover near the end). The "good" kind of hockey stick ends eventually (bitcoin!), in all likelihood we're not going to go to 0% forest cover or 0 wild animals.

Still, if the biomass number is anywhere near accurate, it's pretty insane. 96% of mammal biomass is humans + domesticated animals? Throws the biodiversity thing into a new light, no wonder animals are going extinct when we're strangler-fig-ing their world.
