How can we help mother Earth? Reduce population levels humanely by introducing a global criteria for reproduction & birth rate check system. Earth can only support 529 million human beings for ALL forms of life to thrive and have Peace. Today we are over 8 billion & rising. Billy Eduard Albert Meier, Author, Visionary and Founder of FIGU, sent a letter to all governments in 1958, when just 21 years old, which contained the following warning: "Through the madness of his overpopulation, the human has already detrimentally altered the world and the climate in such a way that a climbing climatic warming becomes apparent that will be carried far into the Third Millennium and release monstrous natural catastrophes..."

Quotes from Professors, Leaders and Naturalists on the problem of Overpopulation (Source: www.populationmatters.org/)... Martin Luther King Jr., Baptist Minister, Activist, Civil Rights Leader: "Unlike plagues of the dark ages or contemporary diseases we do not understand, the modern plague of overpopulation is soluble by means we have discovered and with resources we posses. What is lacking is not sufficient knowledge of the solution but universal consciousness of the gravity of the problem and education of the billions who are its victim." Sir David Attenborough, OM CH CVO CBE FRS FZS FRA Naturalist, Broadcaster and former controller of BBC Two: “The human population can no longer be allowed to grow in the same old uncontrolled way. If we do not take charge of our population size, then nature will do it for us and it is the poor people of the world who will suffer most.” Sir Partha Dasgupta, FRS FBA: Frank Ramsey Professor of Economics, University of Cambridge: “Population growth, poverty and degradation of local resources often fuel one another.” Jane Goodall, PhD DBE, Founder, Jane Goodall Institute and United Nations Messenger of Peace: “It’s our population growth that underlies just about every single one of the problems that we’ve inflicted on the planet. If there were just a few of us, then the nasty things we do wouldn’t really matter and Mother Nature would take care of it — but there are so many of us.” John Guillebaud, Former Emeritus Professor of Family Planning and Reproductive Health, University College, London and Medical Director, Margaret Pyke Centre for Family Planning: “Should we now explain to UK couples who plan a family that stopping at two children, or at least having one less than first intended, is the simplest and biggest contribution anyone can make to leaving a habitable planet for our grandchildren?” Adrian Hayes, Record-breaking Polar Explorer and adventurer, Speaker, Coach, Campaigner and Author: “I’ve seen melting ice caps with my own eyes and got very wet in the process. But, as a passionate promoter of economic, social and environmental sustainability, it is pointless campaigning against climate change or to ‘save the Arctic’ without addressing the root cause behind it and virtually every other environmental or indeed social issue we face: our unsustainable numbers on this planet. That is the real inconvenient truth.” James Lovelock, CH CBE FRS PhD, Originator of the Gaia Theory: “Those who fail to see that population growth and climate change are two sides of the same coin are either ignorant or hiding from the truth. These two huge environmental problems are inseparable and to discuss one while ignoring the other is irrational.” Aubrey Manning OBE FRSE FIBiol, Emeritus Professor of Natural History, University of Edinburgh: “Looking across the world at present it is obvious to anybody with even slight biological knowledge that human numbers are out of balance.” Chris Packham, Naturalist, Nature Photographer, TV presenter and Author: “There’s no point bleating about the future of pandas, polar bears and tigers when we’re not addressing the one single factor that’s putting more pressure on the ecosystem than any other — namely the ever-increasing size of the world’s population.” Current world population clock (estimated): ca.figu.org/overpopulation.html
