British broadcaster David Attenborough on Wednesday led a campaign by conservation groups for the world to invest $500 billion a year to halt the destruction of nature, saying the future of the planet was in “grave jeopardy”.  Attenborough, whose new film “A Life on Our Planet” documents the dangers posed by climate change and the extinction of species, made his statement as the United Nations convened a one-day summit aimed at galvanising action to protect wildlife.  “Our natural world is under greater pressure now than at any time in human history, and the future of the entire planet – on which every single one of us depends – is in grave jeopardy,” Attenborough, 94, said in a news release. - Reuters

He explains that in order to fix part of the damage that we have done, we need to invest a lot of money regularly to protect nature. This relates to our modules contents because population growth directly relates to pollution and co2 emissions. I don't think our leaders care enough to put that much money into conservation since immediately gratifying investments are what they aim to achieve.
