Population Environment Issues
Society: Issues: Environment: Population topics focus on the negative or positive impact of population increase or decrease within an ecosystem, governmental region, or on a global scale. There are many causes of population increase such as longer lifespans due to advanced healthcare, better diets, increased agricultural production. On the otherhand, some causes of population decrease for a region might be lack of medicines, poor diets, and reduced agriculture production due to weather, insect swarms, and not rotating crops.
