With the human population now exceeding 7 billion and growing at a rate of about 80 million per year, some estimates suggest the population will reach about 9.6 billion by 2015. Population growth is highest in developing countries many of which are located in Asia. This growth places considerable pressure on food and water resources and the availability of other natural resources, and will significantly impact on biodiversity.
