And will continue to do so as long as we increase in population. It's simple. The organisms (not just people - even plants) per area - beyond the idea sustaining quantity - the greater pressure on the environment and each-other. Proven in 1962 by John B. Calhoun. Population Density and Social Pathology. Or...the more crowded it gets the less per organism So - the harder each individual will have to fight/strive/work to make it. True for plants. True for fruit flies. (my genetics students proved it yearly). True for rats. and True for H. sapiens. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1501789/pdf/califmed00143-0080.pdf And the reason we see it more every day - and keep talking about "the good old days"? We crossed over from 2 billion to 3 billion in 1959 3 billion to 4 billion in 1973, 14 years later 4 billion to 5 billion in 1986, 13 years later 5 billion to 6 billion in 1998, 13 years later 6 billion to 7 billion in 2010, and we're less than 50 million from 8 billion.

Mountain gorillas: The ripple effect of conservation

Robecology comments on Jun 21, 2022:

@Mooolah it's an interesting term, "Conservative". I think you meant to suggest that you're a "Conservationist" but not a "Conservative". The term you originally used - Conservative - originally meant to preserve, to go slow, to slow progress. to be anti-progressive. But then the #religulous bought in to the concept - less than a century ago. And I doubt you're #religulous Now if you look it up....religion is one of the "pillars" of American Conservatism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservatism_in_the_United_States I was transformed when i saw "Gorillas in the Mist" and became an avid protector and supporter of the mountain gorillas. Perhaps you should watch this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PPSIwe7sb8 Conservationists differ now from the (American, usually) politically active "Conservative"...they - the Conservationists are the ones who want to proceed slowly with growth...with dominance over our environment. I'm a social Conservationist but politically a progressive/liberal. I think you are, too? The progressives in America are the ones who want to preserve and protect endangered species. They find the connection between fossil fuel use - global warming - and pollution. They tend to want to "go green" with Renewable energy forms. https://wikidiff.com/conservationist/conservative
