NPOV?

This article seems tilted in a pro-environmentalist direction. While I personally agree with this viewpoint, it does seem to have bias that is uncharacteristic of a good Wiki article, and I feel that someone who knows what they're doing should revise it for neutrality.

Agree. While the subject treatment is factual and conforms with the generally accepted use of the term, the soapboxiness should be dialed down. -- Paleorthid 19:33, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can we have citations for the following wordings?

"The growing population pressure, during 1980–1990, has led to decreases in the already small areas of agricultural land per person in six out of eight countries (14% for India and 21% for Pakistan)." and "High population density is not always related to land degradation. Rather, it is the practices of the human population that can cause a landscape to become degraded. Populations can be a benefit to the land and make it more productive than it is in its natural state." I'm now translating this article into traditional Chinese, I just can't understand them without proper citations. Thanks. ThomasYehYeh (talk) 05:02, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:ThomasYehYeh: I agree with you that it should have sources. This was student-added content. I've removed most of it now. EMsmile (talk) 15:15, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
