Thanks for asking! I have not thought much about it, but I feel like neartermist approaches which focus on increasing (animal/human) welfare per individual are more robustly good. Interventions which change human population size will lead to a different number of wild animals, which might dominate the overall nearterm effect while having an unclear sign.
