Overpopulation

A powerful look at the global crisis of overpopulation

Earth's population is growing at the rate of 1 billion people every 15 years. This unprecedented growth puts a massive strain on the resources our planet can supply, and many people go hungry or do not have clean water to drink. Can we find a way to balance healthy population growth with taking care of our unique planet - before it's too late?

Our Earth is facing huge environmental challenges, from plastic pollution choking our oceans to critical loss of biodiversity. Ecographics aims to raise young readers' awareness of these challenges with the latest headline-grabbing facts and stats, pertinent case studies and powerful photos.
