They know from studying population that eventually the biosphere will regulate. They see that if deer population isn’t controlled they just die of wasting disease or prions pop up.
They get the 500 million number from watching species population going up, what happens, and then down to a smaller population and that’s how they get that number. They are trying to do a controlled reset before nature does it. Trees literally make us oxygen. When trees first appeared they grew so plenty that they suffocated themselves with waste (oxygen), went down to a small number and started growing back.
Imagine trying to fit 20 people in you SUV, you can’t, and that’s why the numbers go flat after 10 billion, through studying how many of us can be here before we tip the balance of whatever we serve by existing. The biosphere regulates itself, so people want to prevent it from having to do that.
