Essay About Global Population And Human Population

The Future of LifeEssay title: The Future of LifeThe Future of LifeIn the book The Future of Life, Edward O. Wilson tells us environmentalism is a large-scale lesson in sacrifice. Some people will think when humans protecting the environment, they always need to give up something. When humans need to protect an endangered species, some people will lose their money, jobs and even their home. People will think the Earths gain is humans lost and stop to protect the environment. However, they forget humans are themselves a part of nature. Humans cannot survive without the natural environment. Wilson follows with a cogent outline of how the environmental crisis is threatening the Earth, focusing on the rapid destruction of species we have not even begun to classify. He points out that humans rapid growth is an unnatural cause for the demise of biodiversity. At six billion, as of October 1999, the global population is reaching a breaking point. Humans spread to everywhere in the world and cause huge damage to the environment and the native species.

In chapter two, Wilson tells us that the human population has an exponential growth over the past several decades. Because of scientific and technical advancement, people can have better food and health care. The result is that people are living longer and children are more likely to survive. After the industrial revolution, many countries productivity increased rapidly. Therefore, countries can produce more food to support the population growth. The result is that the global population has reached six billion and is on the way to eight billion. Now, the worlds population is growing by 200,000 people a day; within 25 years 2.5 billion people will be added to current population. Human population exceeded earths sustainable capacity around the year 1978. By the year 2000, the population had over shot by 1.4 times the Earths capacity.( Population Growth Rate) As a result, Earth loses its ability to regenerate; the sustainable resource become non renewable. Population crash — a massive decline that can lead to extinction — will occur when the population exceeds its capacity. If humans want to solve the problem, 12 percent of land should be set aside to protect nature environment. Moreover, humans should reduce global consumption and production; otherwise the resources will run up soon.

Overpopulation and environmentally ignorant development are destroying natural habitats and biological diversity. Hawaii is a good example of how human beings destroy natural habitats and eliminate other species. Before the arrival of humanity, Hawaii was biologically diverse and unique. There were at least 125 and as many as 145 species of birds that could be found there. However, now there are only 35 of the original species of birds still alive, and 24 of them are endangered. (Natures last stand) The developments and human activities destroyed the natural habitat, and only one quarter of the land remains untouched. Humans transform forest into farms and houses. Many species disappeared since they lost their living place. Moreover, the immigration of non native species was another reason for habitat destruction. Humans carried non native species to Hawaii. Those non native species do not have any predator and competitor, so they can develop their population rapidly. Those non native

By the end of 2015, in the third decade of modern human colonization, Hawaiians are likely to have a total of 9 million landless individuals. The population will decline to a fraction of those found in the 1960s. If we are to estimate Hawaii’s total population, it would have to fall within the 25 million or so that came before that with the addition of immigrants.

Hai is already the largest island in the world with 19 million. Hawaii has an ideal environment for most people with natural need and therefore should be considered a sanctuary. At first glance, the state of Hawaii would seem less suited to the needs of the typical global poor. But we take this into account because there are about 1.5 of Hawaii’s 10 million island and state citizens and a total of 400,000 residents. When you take a different view of Hawaii and the United States, you find that a more than 20 percent of people living within a hundred miles of this state are indigenous Hawaiian. In the 1990s, most Hawaiians were the members of the island’s indigenous society that helped to build it into the world’s dominant population center. The U.S. had a much larger population that helped shape and maintain the island; just imagine how few people outside of Hawaiians are capable of understanding why an indigenous nation would have been so successful in attracting this new international population.

In 2016, the population decreased by an additional 250,000, to a fraction of the 20 million estimated today. While it is the world’s leading emigrant number, almost one out of every two of the world’s total emigrant population has remained outside of the U.S.

Immigrant population in Hawaiians is higher than population in other Pacific islands.

The United States has a larger percentage of immigrant immigrants than any other country (22 percent, compared with 24 percent, in the 1930s or 1960s). This immigrant population can easily be considered a threat to the Hawaiian natural environment and the Pacific ecosystem. Over one-fifth of Hawaii’s population grew around 1900 while other indigenous Hawaiian populations reached the top of that birth class. In fact, during the first three decades of the 50s and 60s the number of immigrants to Hawaii grew as people made more and more choices. To increase this growth, the United Nations had to scale back its programs to deal with more and more foreign immigrants. The goal was to cut the number of immigrants taking over the islands as much as two to two quarters from today’s 3 million. The goal was not to stop immigrants, but to let them be assimilated. Some of those immigrants would have been born and assimilated as well as had their lives impacted by government assistance. In effect this will make the Hawaiian natural environment the envy of the international community. The state of Hawaii is not merely a place for some low paying immigrants to settle. It is a center of wealth and power for the rich and powerful. It is a place of opportunity for the homeless as well as those living in relative safety in an uninhabited island or in a state with low literacy and physical accessibility.
By our best estimates, the American Red Cross and the American Health Insurance Act are estimated to provide almost 8 percent of the population with health insurance at present. Of this, Hawaii has about 4 million
