Description
Many fear for the future of the planet, which may not be able to provide sufficient resources for such a large hu-man population. Energy, food, raw materials could be-come scarce or even depleted. Social and political ten-sions could arise, famines and wars could occur. This inordinate growth could also damage the biodiversity around us, between land consumption, pollution, defo-restation, and disappearance of species. Overcrowded? recounts the experiences of scien-tists, experts and activists trying to understand what will happen to our planet when the world population reaches and exceeds ten billion peo-ple. And it’s worth thinking about it early: about 300 people have been born since you started rea-ding this introduction.
