What would it take to brink back the megafauna?
Millions of years ago animals were HUUUUUGE!!!
Not just the dinosaurs, everything was much bigger in those days.
Big cows, big sharks, big birds, giant spiders and mosquitoes, biggest elephants, massive cats and rats.
That would be so cool if we could bring those animals back, what would need to do to tweak the environment to produce 6 foot tall rabbits for example? Just one rabbit could feed a whole village for a week. Imagine a mega-chicken giving enough meat and eggs to produce 2000 pizzas and omelettes. How can we get moving on this?

About ten million years of steady climate and no catastrophes.
Note: the existence of human beings is an ongoing catastrophe.
This is a "not going to happen" thing. The sun doesn't seem to be doing a very steady output recently, giving us ice ages, inter-ice-ages, "little ice ages."

The Thanos snap and then another snap. Huge animals eat huge amounts of food. There’s not enough food to feed all those huge animals. So if we were to get rid of 75% of the population then there might be enough food so the animals can start to grow bigger.

Among other things, it would require great stupidity. Not everything was HUUUUUGE. Some dinosaurs were chicken-sized. Horses (a bit later than the dinosaurs) were fox-terrier-sized during the Eocene and have gotten larger over time. And would you really want LARGER mosquitoes? They are so large now that I heard two of them arguing over whether they should eat me where I was or carry me home for the family.
