And what do you suggest

it is what it is

I did answer your question, but you’re looking for something that doesn’t exist. The supply of land (the denominator) is fixed. Increasing the number of people (the numerator) decreases the amount of land per capita.

It’s the same reason why land in California (or Colorado) sold for pennies on the dollar 70 years ago, when their populations were ~1/4 the size they are now. In part, it’s the same reason they were giving away the land for free before that.

Okay we're going to need to tone down the hyperbole quite a bit here. I didn't say a walk in the woods makes you an ecofascist, and you know that but you're not arguing in good faith at this point. There are plenty of lovely woods to walk in where you won't see another person the whole day. It's true, most popular hiking trails are busy. But that's because they're popular. And you're hiking in a place likely where you want to or need to be on a trail.

Permitting isn’t written into stone, it’s the result of increased demand.

Honestly, if Native Americans told us to fuck off their ancestral lands forever that would also be fair. They should and often are granted exceptions to limits on catches and other exceptions for the same reason.
