CHRIS PACKHAM: 7.7 BILLION PEOPLE AND COUNTING, 9PM, BBC2

WHILE climate change and Extinction Rebellion grab the headlines, one topic of concern for the future of our planet is often overlooked: the growing human population. According to the UN, there could be as many as ten billion people on Earth by the year 2050, something that naturalist Chris Packham (pictured) believes is going to have a ruinous effect on our environment. He sets forward a compelling case as he travels the world, visiting vast communities in Brazil and Nigeria, and asking whether this continued growth is in any

way sustainable.
