When nations start to develop, more resources are consumed. Therefore population growth can be strongly associated with the environment. The correlation here is quite simple to understand.

Cows for example are a source of meat but in order to maintain a plentiful livestock, they need to land to graze on. Water is also needed for daily life and with only 3 percent of all water in the world is freshwater; we can say that eventually our water supply will run out.
