Let's Analyze Activity 3 (1-5)

1. Discuss comprehensively how population growth affects the environment, economy, and
development.
Rapid population growth makes it more challenging for low-income and lower-middle-
income countries to afford the increase in public spending per capita required to end poverty,
end hunger and malnutrition, and guarantee universal access to health care, education, and
other essential services. Because more people use more resources, the Earth's resources run out
more quickly as the population rises. Deforestation and biodiversity loss are the results of this
depletion, which occurs as humans deplete the planet's natural resources to support expanding
human populations.

2. How population growth rate affects the sustainability of natural resource?

Through excessive exploitation, intensive farming, and land fragmentation, it lowers the
quality and quantity of natural resources. The lack of arable land in areas with high population
pressure causes fallow periods to be shortened or eliminated, soil fertility to decline, and farm
income to decrease as a result of farm subdivision. The difficulty of ensuring inclusive and
sustainable development in the future may be made more difficult by rapid population growth.
Global population growth may be slowed by achieving the Sustainable Development Goals,
especially those that deal with health, education, and gender equality.

3. Discuss the effect of overpopulation to biodiversity.

Both the pressure to convert wildlife habitat into agricultural and urban land and the
production of wastes that contaminate habitat and harm wildlife are two ways that population
growth and rising resource consumption have an impact on biodiversity. By stabilizing
populations, using resources more wisely, recycling, and reining in pollution, these trends can be
resisted.
 4. Discuss comprehensively why it is important to protect biodiversity.
The most important gauge of an ecosystem's health is its biodiversity. Threats will be
more effectively repelled by a diverse range of species than by a small number of them in large
populations. The ecosystem may adapt and survive even if some species are harmed by
pollution, climate change, or human activities.
5. Is there a need to limit population growth? Why?
There is definitely a need to restrict a country's population growth given the current
environmental issues, such as pollution and the depletion of natural resources. The government
must put measures in place, such as stringent birth control and family planning laws. People
should also be aware of their limitations, grow in responsibility, and take these actions on their
own. Although population growth benefits economic development, too much of it would put a
strain on the environment. In the end, if the resources run out, humans will no longer have a
way to survive, and these economic advancements will all be for nothing.

In a Nutshell Activity 3 (3-10)

1. Population projection is a significant undertaking in demographic studies. It supplies data on

how we are going to plan communities mindful of the pressing issues on population growth and
quality of life.
2. The holistic evaluation of the triggering factors of uncontrolled population growth, a decline of
environmental quality, and scarcity of resources is deemed necessary to attain sustainable
development.
3. In order to meet the diverse needs of the various age groups equally, it is crucial to analyze the
age distribution of a population.
4. The root cause of almost all of the environmental issues we are currently facing is
overpopulation. These environmental issues won't go away until the population reaches a level
that the available resources can support.
5. Although carrying capacity should be taken into account, it can be difficult to calculate. Due to a
number of factors, population changes could happen every second, and we might already have
exceeded it without our knowledge.
6. Population growth has both advantages and disadvantages. The good thing about it is that it
advances economic development by fostering the development of new goods and value.
However, the adverse effect is the quick depletion of natural resources.
7. There are numerous approaches to solving the issues of overpopulation and the environment.
However, the solution frequently clashes with people's culture, morals, and economic
perspectives. As a result, we must create effective solutions that do not totally ignore the three
aforementioned perspectives.
8. Humans and the environment are intertwined; the natural world affects our daily activities and
the conditions of the natural world affect us. We must therefore not ignore the environmental
issues
9. It is necessary to restrict population growth. A population that is out of balance with the
environment will lead to resource depletion, pollution, and the gradual destruction of our
environment.
10. In nature, population growth is always constrained. Populations cannot continue to grow
exponentially forever. Exploding populations always reach a size limit set by a lack of one or
more resources like water, space, or nutrients, or by unfavorable circumstances like disease,
drought, or extreme temperatures.
