Population growth

 

Kara McQuerrey

When we think of land use we don’t ever think about how many ways we really do effect it. Even things we do unintentionally. One way we impact our land use if the worlds growing population. Our growing population puts a drive for how we use land and how much of it’s being used. It also makes an increasing demand for food. That makes land resources really important. This can also effect deforestation. In the last two decades less than 60 thousand forests, tress were removed and replaced my houses and building’s. Both which we need for our population. An example of how our population growth is a place called Wadi Ziglab. It was 11162 in 1952, 29719 in 1979 it was 63970 in 2004. Large amounts of growth. There is nothing we can really do about this unless we tell people to stop having kids. Which we can’t do that.

  1. Population will stay a growing problem cause we can’t control who has kids and who doesn’t. Also as the population grows all of our problems with the planet grow.
