  2. Some Alarming Facts • Human Population is skyrocketing. • Natural Resources are disappearing at alarming rates. • Food production is increasing to meet human demand. • This can not continue at present rates.

  3. The Human Population has Grown Tremendously in Recent Decades

  4. This growth may cause overshoot and collapse!Has this ever happened before?YES! • Reindeer introduced to islands. • 3500 Years ago in Mesopotamia. • Easter Island in the Pacific.

  5. Questions I want to answer in my Project:What are the current details on: • World Population (Historical and Projections) • World Grain Production • World Meat Production • World Fish Production • Is there evidence of pending world-wide overshoot and collapse?

  6. Sources I will use: • United Nation’s Food and Agricutlure Organization: www.fao.org • Vital Signs Series, published by WorldWatch • The Population Reference Bureau • The Ecological Institute • The Sustainability Institute
