The best management solution may be a mixed strategy involving intervention on both the small dispersed island populations and the main population front.7 By examining

Geography assessment Question 1: Natural increase is a driving factor of the population around the whole world‚ it contributes to every nation in the same way both boosting the economy and creating strain on governments to feed nations.
