Our Earth is the only planet in the solar system where life can exist. As a planet, we can face many challenges in our nature but we should always keep in mind that nature is a gift to us. The beautiful trees, birds, water to drink, air to breathe, food to eat and many more things are provided by this nature. But, Pollution, Global warming, Environmental depletion etc. are several issues that we are facing nowadays. And the most prominent reason behind these, is the Overpopulation.
In order to raise awareness towards this issue, we celebrate World Population day every year, on July 11th. This day is celebrated annually and was first suggested by Dr.Zacharia as a demographic at World Bank.
Overpopulation is the main reason behind all the environmental issues. We human, are one of the most important resource and are blessed with intellectual mind, but we are using this for our selfishness only. This is our human psychology only, that we are consuming nature products at a unlimited rate without even caring for the future. Also, this day helps us to understand the importance of Sustainable development.
This day is celebrated in most of the countries for bringing awareness among people about family planning, education, health and several other aspects. Several programs ar executed and students also participates in competitions like poster making, creative writing, debates etc.
✪ Hopefully the message is passed all over the world.
☄"So, let us reduce the burden on our mother earth by pledging to control the population of the earth" ☄

- In Arab countries, the population is growing 2.6%/year and total fertility rates (TFRs) stand 5 whereas the TFR for the entire world is a bit 3. Much of the growth has occurred in cities, e.g., Cairo, where the population has outpaced basic services.
- Cities require food and fuel thereby stressing rural areas which rural-urban migration only exacerbates.
- Population growth and distribution have a more profound and long term effect on the planet than does the destruction of rain forests and desertification.

- Each government must set policies that improve the role and status of women, such as ensuring literacy and education for girls and women.
