The whole thing stinks of of ecofascism. These first two read as pretty clear calls for eugenicism/genocide to me.

#1 trends towards ecofascism but it's also a major theme in 70s environmentalism (was known as "the population bomb" and is now known as "degrowth") - it's false of course, but many people do believe it.
#2 is actually quite unique I think. I mean you could say it's eugenics, but eugenicists are rarely in favor of "diversity".

Sure they are- some diversity's obviously good so the whole population doesn't get wiped out by one disease. There's a tradeoff between diversity and it's resistance to that sort of disaster, and unity/homogeneity and its resistances to other problems. You'd be a poor eugsnicist to not take that into account!
1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature. 2. Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity. 3. Unite humanity with a living new language. 4. Rule passion – faith – tradition – and all things with tempered reason. 5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts. 6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court. 7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials. 8. Balance personal rights with social duties. 9. Prize truth – beauty – love – seeking harmony with the infinite. 10. Be not a cancer on the Earth – Leave room for nature – Leave room for nature.
