The Human Footprint increased by 9% from 1993 to 2009, at least partly attributable to a human population increase of 23% and a global economy increase of 153% during the same period. [3] Though population and economic growth far exceed the growth of the Human Footprint, the areas that saw increased human influence were those with the highest ...
