A resource library about human population pressures on the environment.
The impacts of human population growth on wildlife and the environment are discussed in research, reports, commentaries and other resources across various fields, including ecology, conservation, demography, psychology and policy. By bringing them all together in one place, we can better understand the wide-ranging effects of human population pressure as well as the solutions that can benefit endangered species, human rights and the health of communities and the planet.
You can view the complete list or choose from the categories below. Click on each category to see its individual list of resources.
Within the categories, we’ve provided summaries for each article to give a quick preview of what the research is on and what the key takeaways are. These are not intended to be comprehensive summaries of the research or a replacement for reading articles in their entirety. We specifically focus on, and highlight, aspects relevant to population.
The Crowded Planet resource library is a project of the Population and Sustainability program of the Center for Biological Diversity.
We use creative media, advocacy and public outreach to raise awareness of runaway human population growth and unsustainable consumption — and their close link to the endangerment of other species.
