3071 LM Rotterdam; Van der Takstraat 126, The Netherlands.
It is with gratitude for your magnanimous commitment and representative service to the Nation of Brasil, that i write to you.
Your site provides comprehensive and objective data on the state of affairs in this specific area. Thank you, also for that.
Sirs,/Ladies,
I have joined a small group of citizens, with great concern for the Human Beings on Earth and for the Earth itself, to address you with a request of endorsement.
It is now clear, that the Greatest threat to Mankind and Earth comes from the Over-Population of Humans, which is growing now at an exponential rate.
Please seriously consider the document 'A Crusade Against Overpopulation' here:
http://us.figu.org/portal/SocialIssues/ACrusadeAgainstOverpopulation/tabid/102/Default.aspx
This document is going forward to the US Ambassadors in every Nation, to President Obama, to Vice-President Biden, and to Secretary of State Clinton.
It will as well be forwarded to all countries and their gouvernments; to all major NGO's dealing with population and development; to influencal citizens and international figures, like Reverend Desmond Tutu; to retired exceptional senior leaders - through their foundations, like Mr Nelson Mandela, Mr. Al gore... - and other individuals, known for their commitment to global issues - Bono Vox of U2, Bob Geldof, Angelina Joli...
I also took the liberty to add here a video presentation of this issue, made by one of our volunteers, Mr. Barreto:

Allow me now to drag your attention to the following:
News story:
Billion people face famine by mid-century, says top US scientist
From Times Online, March 23, 2009
“Famines affecting a billion people will threaten global food security during the 21st century, according to a leading US scientist.
Nina Fedoroff, the US State Department chief scientist, is convinced that food shortages will be the biggest challenge facing the world as temperatures and population levels rise. Food security in the coming years, she said, is “a huge problem” that has been met with little more than complacency. “We are asleep at the switch,” she said. Her warning echoes comments by John Beddington, Britain’s chief scientist, last week in which he forecast a “perfect storm” of food, water and energy shortages by 2030.
Dr Fedoroff, who advises Hillary Clinton, said famines that strike a billion people are quite possible in a world where climate change has damaged food production and the human population has risen to nine billion. Population levels have already exceeded seven billion and are expected to rise to nine billion by the middle of the century unless action is taken.”

Earth population 'exceeds limits'
By Steven Duke, Editor, One Planet, BBC World Service
Page last updated at 18:17 GMT, Tuesday, 31 March 2009 19:17 UK
" There are already too many people living on Planet Earth, according to one of most influential science advisors in the US government.
Nina Fedoroff told the BBC One Planet programme that humans had exceeded the Earth's "limits of sustainability".
Dr Fedoroff has been the science and technology advisor to the US secretary of state since 2007, initially working with Condoleezza Rice.
Under the new Obama administration, she now advises Hillary Clinton.
"We need to continue to decrease the growth rate of the global population; the planet can't support many more people," Dr Fedoroff said, stressing the need for humans to become much better at managing "wild lands", and in particular water supplies. "

This petition has it the same way:
"In the 6 seconds it takes you to read this sentence 24 people will be added to the earth population; before you've finished this, that number will reach 1000; within an hour 11,000; by day's end 260,000; before you go to bed two nights from now the net growth in human numbers will be enough to fill a city the size of san francisco. It took 4 million years for humanity to reach the 2 billion mark; only 30 years to add a third billion and now we are increasing by 100 million every single year.
No wonder they call it the human race.
Solution birth control: quality of life not quantity...
Take action! Improve the life of mankind! Save your world!"

Honorable Ladies/Gentlemen,
A wise man once wrote, “ Planet Earth and it’s inhabitants are suffering from diverse ills caused singularly and exclusively by man himself. These already existing ills, however, will continue to proliferate until finally everything completely deteriorates. [...]
