World Population Day and our environment

July 11 is celebrated as the World Population Day and it is an international awareness campaign to call people on stage to know the reason of this exploding population as well as solve the big mistake of whole human fraternity. This great awareness event is to bring a population revolution globally as well as breaking sleep of all the deeply slept people to pay their full attention and help in combating the population issues and environmental problems.
While we talk about conserving the nature, the most important factor that comes to mind is the population explosion. The famous Heidelberg Declaration signed by 425 prominent scientists, including 52 Nobel Prize laureates at the end of the conference in Rio called overpopulation a ‘plague’ comparable to ‘hunger and pandemics’.
