Population

Chapter Introduction

There is a clear relationship between population and the environment. As jobs become scarcer, more people turn to the natural resource base for their livelihood. The more people there are, the less land there is to support their needs. This places severe stresses on the country's land, water, and energy resources. As a result, the environment is less able to support life and restore itself.
