The Philippines ranks ____ among the most overpopulated countries in the world, reflecting its ongoing population growth and high population density.Figure 3. Philippine population as of October 2024 (Worldometer, 2024).The issue of overpopulation is most pronounced in areas like _______.
14th, Metro Manila
___________________ is the increase in the number of humans on Earth.
Human population growth
________________ is the term used to describe the rapid and dramatic rise in world population that has occurred over the last few hundred years.
population explosion
The impact of human population growth on the environment takes two major forms:
consumotion of resources
production of wastes
What are the impacts of human population growth on the environment
increase in the extraction of renewable and non- renewable resources
increase in the burning of fossil fuels
increase in the freshwater use
increase in ecological impacts
increase in fishing and hunting
increase in the transport of invasive species
transmissionn of disease
This is in which a disease transmits from humans to animals, poses animal and public health
reverse zoonosis
As people travel, import, and export supplies, urbanization creates disturbed environments where =____________ species often thrive and outcompete native species.
invasive
Population growth leads to __________ changes due to the increased demand for housing, settlements, and agriculture, resulting in deforestation and biodiversity loss.
land uses
At the forefront of these efforts to control the population growth lies with the ______________, which also conducted its once-in-a-decade conference in 1994 at Cairo.
It sought to stabilize the population of the world at _____ billion in the year 2050 in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals.
United Nations
The UN sought to achieve the following by the year 2015, which is also supported and endorsed by 180 Member Nations:
- Provide universal access to family planning services and reproductive health care
- improve health care for infants, children and pregnant women

this is the measure of the biologically productive land and water needed to support each person
Ecological Footprint comparison
The ecological footprint of countries vary greatly
Developing countries have much _________ footprints than developed countries
smaller

I = Environmental Impact
P = Population
A = Affluence
T = Technology
