Population increase has led to the rapid rise of cities.
This has resulted in a great demand for energy, manufactured goods and a transport network.
Massive amounts of energy, water and natural resources (oil, gas, iron etc) are required to support this demand.
This has resulted in high levels of pollution, loss of habitat and in the long term, a global climate change.
The end result is a major contribution towards loss in biodiversity due to habitat loss.
