We are the ONLY Australian ecological charity highlighting the impact of #population growth on #biodiversity, but we receive fewer public donations than most who refuse to acknowledge the issue. We hope you'll consider a donation to keep us going 🙏 population.org.au/donate/

Nowhere ever, has lower ecological impact been achieved in harmony with growing human populations. and whatever action moves us in that direction, would be greatly enhanced by population stabilisation/decline..

Net zero with growing populations requires aggressive renewable policies and urban sustainability. COP29 showed it's achievable.

Do you have a gut feeling excessive population growth is destroying your life and the ecosystems you care about? Need the research to back it up? Feel free to browse our website- you'll find everything you need there. population.org.au/
We are your prime source for the vital (but largely ignored) #population topic. We take an academic approach to the economics & ecology of population issues. No financial vested interests. No political agenda. Just the facts. population.org.au/

Birds, insects, wild mammals/reptiles, fish, old growth forests- ... all being swept aside by the human economic growth tide.
Bird decline isn’t a mystery. We paved their hunting grounds, poisoned their food, and sterilized their yards. Now mornings are quiet.

The economics of #population growth work heavily against Australian families. The economics of #population growth work heavily in favour of large invested corporate interests. population.org.au/about-popu…

How does the big population / big build agenda square off with protecting #biodiversity & lowering #emissions? It seems to us, people must choose one or the other, ... & stop kidding themselves it can be both!

Telling someone they've overshot their optimal size is always a difficult conversation- one which most choose to ignore, one which we face up to: population.org.au/about-popu…
Sooner or later Australia must come to terms with a sensible discussion about optimal #population size. Better sooner than later.

The reins of Australia's economic policy are being tightly held by the short term quick buck merchants. No thought of the future, no thought of nature- if it feeds the GDP bonfire, ... in it goes.
Norway's sovereign wealth fund is approx. 50 TIMES HIGHER per capita than Australia. Labor and the Coalition have become fully owned subsidiaries of the fossil fuel industry and willing to kill your kids for their party 'donors' 🤬 abc.net.au/news/2025-11-05/a…

Fear #population decline? How is our planet in better shape today than in the year 2000, ... when we had 2 billion fewer people on earth? Think about that next time the population expansionists fear monger around non growing populations!

As populations continue to expand #AnimalWelfare, as per our entire moral & ethical foundation, ... becomes a lesser consideration.
These abominations have nothing to do with farming They are simply industrial-scale torture and death chambers Every single facility should be scrapped and no new ones built theguardian.com/environment/…

In a rapidly de-stabilising world, is a bigger #population really the key to survival? Is a bigger population more likely to go hungry? population.org.au/media-rele…

As a changing climate impacts us, .. we grow our population.
Population growth is placing ever more strain on our food & water supplies. Is this something you are comfortable with?

Developers make more profit the more concrete they pour... so trees are just in their way... it's that simple in a world run on GREED.

For those of you who don't know, Peter Strachan is our National President. We value his consistent, well researched opinions on immigration / population issues. If you don't already, please give him a "follow".
Associate Professor Salvatore Babones warned that the student visa system is the “new scam”, noting that people arrive in Australia on student visas, “after which they can apply for a different visa”

Economic growth will not stop until every last resource is exploited & sold into the market place. Nothing is sacred except the GDP figure & investor profits.
97% of the planet’s land is already altered by humans. British Columbia is racing to finish the job of turning wilderness into wells, and calling it prosperity.

Everywhere we go we see #trees coming down & housing estates going in- at an alarming rate. Yet bizarrely, people still try to tell us the #HousingCrisis is a supply problem, not an immigration driven demand problem. Presumably they want tree destruction accelerated??

The Grattan Institute is fully aware of this, but they've put on a spin that will allow their developer mates to increase profits per unit of land area thru densification- while fooling the gullible that they're genuinely interested in eliminating the demand/supply imbalance and bringing down house prices. Of course the developer mates do not have to pay for the infrastructure support costs (eg expensive city retro fits)- we do, nor do they wear the quality of life decline, ... as they can afford to live beyond the sh*t fight.
No it won't. It's impossible to fix a supply/demand imbalance with more supply if policymakers just keep increasing demand to match it or exceed it. This is why prices do not sustainably fall even during huge building booms. The data is there.
