Paul Esrich

Paul Ehrlich is an American biologist and author, best known for his 1968 book "The Population Bomb," which warned about the dangers of rapid population growth and its potential impact on global resources and the environment. He argued that overpopulation would lead to widespread famine and ecological disaster if not addressed. Ehrlich's work sparked significant discussions about population control, environmental policies, and sustainable development. He has also contributed to entomology and ecology, focusing on the relationships between species and their environments. His ideas remain influential in debates about population, resource consumption, and environmental issues today.
