Dear John

Ahead of Earth Day tomorrow (22 April), we are thrilled to unveil our brand new interactive tool, the Population Explorer! As a Population Matters supporter, we wanted to give you a chance to delve into the interactive graphics and data before anyone else. Explore population numbers and growth around the world, their impact on biodiversity, climate change, and natural resources, as well as the actions we must take to build a better future:

Many people are unaware of how big our human population really is, that it is still growing, and what this means for the environment and our own well-being. In addition, the most effective, globally beneficial solutions remain severely overlooked and underfunded.

Our Population Explorer addresses these topics in an engaging manner and we hope it'll help raise awareness of the issue and catalyse urgently needed action. The social media share buttons make it easy to post to Twitter and Facebook - please share it widely to help us reach more people.

As always, thanks for your support,

Alistair Currie
