Population Action International, a group concerned about global overpopulation, is releasing a poster-sized world map that projects changes in world population density through 2025. Though the official release date is this Saturday, the map is available for download as a PDF file. The map is only a forecast, but it shows some interesting regional variations: very high population growth along the Ganges; depopulation in eastern Europe, Russia and Japan.
