Scott County Park can't support the deer population within the park boundaries. The ecosystem of the park has been devastated by the large deer herd. The forest in the park has become an a typical forest. The deer have eaten all the branches of trees they can reach. If you were kneeling and looking through the trees the view would be further than is normal in a healthy forest. Few disagrees there are too many deer in the park. During the first f

If you had asked someone in 1890 about the population today he would have said, " There's no way the United States can support two hundred and seventy million people. Where are they going to pasture all their horses?" During the past century, the world population has increased from on billion, to six billion. Because of this, many people have an exaggerated fear that the population will keep exploding till there are too many people for the earth to support. During the 1960's, the world population was growing by two percent a year, now it is growing by one percent; and if trends continue the world population may actually decline. The rapid population growth can for the most part be credited to the plunging death rate and increasing life expectancy worldwide.

The world is passing through a transition of not enough births. The world population is expected to decline by the year 2040. Several Centuries from now there could be fewer people living in the whole world than currently live in the United States. The fertility rate in most countries has fallen below 2.1, the replacement rate. In Sweden and Italy the fertility rate has dropped for so long that there are more deaths than births. The world population will only stay stable if fertility rates average out to 2.1 children per women. A preference for fewer children is associated with modern societies in which high living standards make children financially unproductive and expensive to care for. The fertility rate will fall even further once developing countries reach economic maturity. Trends in families may change from decade to decade so the fertility rate may climb to an average of 2.1 or above.

The world is not even close to being overpopulated. If every one of the six billion people on the planet right now were to reside in Texas, there would be enough space for every family of four to have a house and an 1/8th of acre of land. The rest of the world would be vacant. What about food? In the United States, we have to pay farmers to not grow food. A Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) study published in 1982 concluded that the Third World could support over 30 billion people using modern agricultural methods. Few demographers envision a world likely to be populated with less than twelve billion humans in the twenty first century. The rapidly increasing population has created a need for more food for the population. Supplies have grown at least as fast as the population has. U.S. farmers
