The Duke of Cambridge keeps on running his mouth about population growth in Africa of all places.

It's likely that a "World City" will emerge in South Africa or maybe Nigeria. Possibly more than one in the region. Africa has many big cities. But nothing on the order of a New York, London, Hong Kong, Shanghai, São Paulo...

This means population growth. And just like every other region in the world it will have an impact.

The Duke can go bulldoze some London suburbs if he cares about nature.

Is population even growing in Africa? Pretty sure the TFR has been plummeting

nostr:npub1zdp33shl69xr0uq3x8n5gsjykq9upycwh6nqm02c3f6x0frrn0dq42vqv8 At your school, do science classes still cling to the "Africans use slash-and-burn agriculture and that's unsustainable" meme? Because I was taught that at an IB school in 2001-2 and my cousin's private school-educated American children were in the mid-2010s.

William and his aristo buddies don’t give a damn about preserving nature when it comes to things like hunting for fun within the British Isles. Scottish peatlands have been profoundly damaged by those folk turning them into Grouse Shooting play parks.
