OVERPOPULATION:

1
OVERPOPULATION

• CRISIS OR CHALLENGE ?

2
OVERPOPULATION

• DEFINITION
• The condition of having a population so dense as
  to cause a decline in population or in living
  conditions. To increase the population of a place
  so much that the amount of space, food, water, or
  other resources available to support it is
  insufficient to meet the needs and or demands.

BACKGROUND

• Throughout history, overpopulation has plagued
  humanity. When any population reaches a point
  where it becomes too large for the amount of
  available resources, people suffer from
  malnutrition, disease, and eventually starvation.
  It also has many harmful effects on the world
  around us.

HISTORY OF OUR EARTHS POPULATION

• The human population of Earth first reached 1
  billion in 1804, 2 billion in 1927, 3 billion in
  1961, 4 billion in 1974 and 5 billion in late
  1986. On October 12th, 1999, the human population
  of Earth reached 6 billion. In most of our
  parents lifetimes the population has doubled from
  3 billion in 1961 to the 6,087,592,800 it is
  today.

CURRENT STATUS

• According to the most recent world census, the
  current world population is about 6,205,857,370,
  and continues to change each day. Such a large
  population contributes to almost all forms of
  pollution, malnutrition, and starvation. There
  are just too many people on our planet to satisfy
  everyone's needs, and wants.

RECENT FLARE-UPS

• One of the most definite results of an
  over-population is occurring right now in our own
  backyards. California is in the middle of an
  extreme power crisis. There is just not enough
  power to meet the demands of all the people in
  California. The demand is greater than the
  available supply

REASONS FOR OVERPOPULATION AND THE PROBLEMS THAT
COME WITH IT

• GREED
• WASTEFUL HABITS
• IGNORENGE
• LACK OF CARE
• WEAK CENTRAL GOVERNMENTS OF THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES

8
ATTEMPTS TO END OVERPOPULATION

• - MANDATORY BIRTH CONTROL
• - INCENTIVES TO HAVE LESS CHILDREN
• - PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS LIKE PLANNED PARENTHOOD
• - GOVERNMENT FUNDING OF LITERATURE REGUARDING
  PLANNED PARENTHOOD
• - LET NATURE TAKE ITS COURCE

9
OUTCOME

• THE OUTCOME OF THE OVERPOPULATION, WHAT EVER IT
  IS, IT IS GOING TO BE DUE TO A DRASTIC CHANGE IN
  THE WAY PEOPLE IN OUR WORLD LIVE. PEOPLE AROUND
  THE WORLD WILL HAVE TO UNITE FOR A COMMON CAUSE.

10
SOLUTION

• IF THEIR WERE ONE CLEAR WAY TO COMBAT
  OVERPOPULATION IT WOULD NO LONGER BE AN ISSUE.
  THEIR MAY NEVER BE A RESOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM,
  BUT THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT WE COULD TO DO STOP
  IT IS TO STOP THE IGNORENCE TOWARDS THE SEVERITY
  OF THIS PROBLEM. ONCE WE REACH THAT STAGE, IT IS
  TIME FOR THE WORLD TO WORK TOGETHER AS A WHOLE
  FOR ONE COMMON GOAL.
