Many people think speech therapy is only about pronunciation, but I’ve noticed it often impacts confidence as well. A child who struggles to communicate may avoid conversations or social situations, which can sometimes affect emotional development too.

That’s why Therapy Speech seems important beyond just language improvement. Good sessions can help children express emotions, ask questions, and interact better with family and classmates. I’ve been reading more about Therapy Speech Language programs, and it appears that consistency at home plus professional guidance often gives the best results.

One parent I spoke to from Delhi shared positive feedback after consulting specialists at Nupal CDC. They mentioned learning simple communication exercises they could continue outside sessions, which seemed helpful for long-term improvement.

Would having population clocks prominently displayed in all overpopulated places drive the message home? Would it make more people wake up to the issue of overpopulation?

A number of these countries are on the African continent and it is estimated that Africa’s population will double by 2070, to over 3 billion.

How can anyone believe this is sustainable?

This is without doubt one of the defining lectures on the dangers of human overpopulation. Up to this point, Attenborough had been very vocal on the issue of overpopulation, but less so in recent years.

Is this because the topic still remains an unpalatable one for mainstream media?

On a regional basis, Ehrlich’s predictions about food supplies being insufficient to support local populations have become a modern day reality. Globally, 1 in 10 people go to bed hungry each night and 3 billion cannot afford, or don’t have access to, a nutritious diet. Should Ehrlich be given more credit for his findings and predictions?

Paul Ehrlich’s passing is a tremendous loss on so many levels, not least the fact that there seem to be very few overpopulation campaigners left. Jonathon Porritt, Yan Vana and David Attenborough are a few that come to mind.

What will people most remember about Paul Ehrlich?

Sir Jonathon Porritt has been almost aggressively critical of organisations and government bodies that remain afraid of openly addressing human overpopulation.

Is a tougher approach the only way that this sensitive topic will become publicly acknowledged and debated?

Lily Cole clearly acknowledges the threat human overpopulation poses to the planet. But she makes a very valid point about the need to also address consumption.

Is either issue more important, or more urgent, than the other?

As human population growth continues to spiral upwards, overtourism is becoming a more publicised consequence. It does beg the question though… who would want to spend their holiday shoulder-to-shoulder with tens of thousands of other people?

This is both incredibly sad and extremely frightening, all at the same time. What is most frightening is the human capacity for self-destruction.

Is it even possible to turn this around?
