effects of increasing population
more space is needed for housing, industry, transport and agriculture which may destroy wildlife habitats
what does the environmental impact assessment decide
where the develpment goes ahead, refused or modified to reduce effect on wildlife
4 types of intensive farming
fertilisers pesticides disease control battery farming
