Increasing demand for biofuels is linked to increased deforestation as native habitat is converted to palm oil production.

Conservationist Tom Butler edited the book Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot, which illuminates the way human numbers and behavior have transformed the Earth, and potentially threatens humanity’s future. As the central piece to Global Population Speak Out campaign, the book is intended to ignite conversations about how consumption and population numbers matter.
