You basically want to reduce land use, climate change, and nitrogen/phosphorous/other emissions. Put all your agriculture in greenhouses/vertical farms or make it intensive while limiting runoff (boo Germany, yay the Netherlands), don't eat tons of beef, run on nuclear power and whatever renewables you feel like adding without wasting land and resources (e.g. no solar in dark shitholes like Northern Germany, no hydro except on rivers you're already loving up for other reasons, no biomass powerplants except those fed by certain types of waste), live in at least moderately dense cities. Recycling helps reduce resource extraction impacts which are basically land use and emissions. Everything boils down to land sparing - use the gently caress out of whatever area you need, trade energy for lower area use, limit impacts to the area you're already using. That way, you'd kill off only minimal city areas plus comparatively small resource extraction/farming areas while everything else stays ok. Pretty much all species except for a few unlucky endemics should do ok.

Energy efficiency wouldn't be all that important as long as you aren't consuming at like fourty times the current level where waste heat would become a problem. Currently, everyone invests in energy efficiency because people hate :supaburn:atomz:supaburn: for dumb reasons and because market-ready types of commercial nuclear power plants are a long term investment which doesn't start bringing in shareholder friendly revenue immediately or provide great PR like renewables, so many countries will have to make do with those less energy-dense and more resource and area intensive renewables.
