Positive lower ample canonical height for Zariski-dense orbits

Let XX be a smooth projective variety over Q\overline{\mathbb Q}, let ff be an endomorphism of XX with δf>1\delta_f>1, and for xX(Q)x\in X(\overline{\mathbb Q}) write

Of(x)={x,f(x),f2(x),}.O_f(x)=\{x,f(x),f^2(x),\ldots\}.

Positive lower ample canonical height conjecture. If Of(x)O_f(x) is dense in the Zariski topology, then hf(x)>0\underline h_f(x)>0. The source describes this as a weaker conjecture and as a generalization of a conjecture of Kawaguchi and Silverman restricted to endomorphisms. Its general status is open.
