Often, the growth of cities is too fast for the construction of adequate infrastructure. This results in transportation problems, including traffic gridlock and longer commuting times. The other answers are true regarding urbanization. Cities have a number of environmental drawbacks and benefits.

Ukraine, like many former Soviet Bloc countries, has a declining population due to political unrest. Nigeria, the Philippines, the United States and India all have increasing populations.

In the first stage of a demographic transition, a population has a high birthrate, a high death rate, and a stable population. Technological development is low, and populations are controlled mainly by famine and disease.

Replacement level fertility is the number of children required by a couple to replace them. Currently, in the United States, this number is just above two. This number accounts for infant mortality and varies by region.

The CITES treaty is the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, and entered into force in July 1975. The treaty's aim is to ensure that international trade in wild animals and plants does not threaten the survival of such endangered species, listed in varying degrees of protection and applying to more than 35,000 species. Thus it monitors international trade as it pertains to all manner of protected wildlife. 

The population growth rate is a measure of population change over a given time.

The first step to calculate this rate is to add up the number of people arriving in the country (through births and immigration) and, separately, add the number of people leaving the country (through death or emigration). Then we subtract those leaving the country from those entering the country to obtain a value for the change in population.  

After calculating the change in population, we can calculate the population growth rate.  Don’t forget to multiply the ratio between change in population and initial population by 100 to convert from decimal into percent. 

The correct response is GDP. All the other factors have major impacts on population growth. GDP has cultural implications for population growth; however, it is not a direct relationship.

The formula for doubling time is: 

Since the population grows by 4% every 5 years, we must divide these two numbers to find the annual population growth. 

Thus:

So, using this number in our equation, 

Our answer rounds closest to 88 years. 

There are two worldview extremes, the Deep Ecology and the Western worldview. Most people’s worldviews lie somewhere in between these two extremes. The Deep Ecology Worldview considers humans as no more important than other species and believes that all life has intrinsic value. The health of the environment is of the highest priority and humans should make sacrifices to protect it.

The continent of Asia hosts the majority of the Earth's population, at roughly  billion people,  of the total human population. In order to put this into perspective, it has been calculated that for every five people in the world, three live in Asia.
