Do you like to know the present situation in this planet? As at 2017, we have
800 Gorillas
1,600 Pandas
3,000 Tigers
12,000 Cheetahs
28,000 Rhinos
30,000 Lions
80,000 Girafees
400,000 Elephants
7,540,000,000 Humans
In this planet.
Humans are eradicating all the other valuable animals from this planet. The days are numbered for Humans if we eradicate ecologically important forests and animals.
It is time for us to act fast and stop this destruction of our own home.
The Black Death. The Second World War. The Industrial Revolution. The invention of modern medicine. Major events like these have had huge impacts on the world’s population of humans, which as per 2017 censes stands at 7.53 billion people. Considering that our species emerged from sub-Saharan Africa no more than 200,000 years ago, this is one hell of a jump. To visualize the spread of humanity across the globe, the American Museum of Natural History has produced a stunning time lapse video to help you visualize it. From the Mongol conquests to the arrival of Europeans in the New World, it reveals just how much of a difference major flashpoints in history had on our proliferation. With all the huge drops, sudden plateaus, or massive spikes in the global population, it’s difficult to pick a particularly shocking moment!
