Real-world population calamities in vast open-space conditions?
This image summarizes THREE CLASSICAL, separate, independent, and quintessential REAL-WORLD population-environment calamities (each of which involved mass mortalities and/or 99% die-offs) that either began or were actually already well-underway in surrounding environments that remained 99.998% unoccupied (2/1000ths of 1% occupied) (see tiny white dot in image) and which, visually-speaking, appeared to remain ALMOST ENTIRELY EMPTY.
The three real-world examples assessed for this image include routine outbreaks of red-tide dinoflagellates (e.g. Karenia brevis) in marine environments (which can kill millions of tons of fish and even manatees by their release of wastes into their surroundings), and two separate classical and independent climb-and-collapse population-explosions / 99% die-offs in reindeer herds (Rangifer tarandus) on Alaskan islands.

Even an intelligent, sentient, educated, and scholarly population would find it difficult to appreciate or even imagine either the degree or the proximity of the utter population-environment calamity that is about to overtake them or which is actually already well-underway when so much "vast open-space" appears to remain seemingly-available. Disquieting and dangerous implications for humankind? The answer, unfortunately, may be 'yes,' because in all three classical real-world cases that this image reflects, if the scholars and leaders of the subject populations WAIT until the conditions depicted in this image develop, they will have ALREADY WAITED TOO LONG.
