- The world's population is growing and could exceed 9 billion within the next four decades. In this fascinating programme, esteemed naturalist and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough takes a look at the problems we face as a continuously growing species. From Mexico to Spain, China to Rwanda, ecologists, demographers, farmers, engineers and family planning clinicians report on the enormous challenges of dealing with humans in ever increasing numbers. With 400,000 people born every day, David Attenborough asks how many people can live on planet Earth? And should population control be the duty of each one of us?
