Marginalizing the Vivid Picture: Neo-Malthusians versus David Foreman and Deep
Ecologists are in the Flock

-When all the trees have been cut down, when all the animals have been hunted, when
all the waters are polluted, when all the air is unsafe to breathe, only then will
you discover you cannot eat money.

Cree Prophecy

Despite the fact that Deep Ecologists and David Foreman advocates that humans have
detrimental effects on ecology, Neo-Malthusians are even more blaming the society
to destroy the nature on a hate basis. Even Deep Ecologists are holding the humans
more responsible from the devastation nature and wild life, Neo-Malthusians press
the burden to poor people, more likely. According to Neo-Malthusians, these
uneducated and poor people are devastating the nature where elites and rich people
are not responsible for. This essay will going to illuminate the point that, the
two fractions are diverse from each other.

At glance, even if David Foreman has been found guilty for some cases like
THERMCON, later he admitted that incorporation of Marxists and Anarchists leaded
the movement in a wrong direction. He just tried to protect the nature and wild
life from the profit ambition of big companies and that doesn’t make him bad.
( Counterpunch, 2015)

On the other hand, Deep Ecologists claims that the welfare and prosperous of human
and nonhuman life cycle on world have worth in themselves and people have no claim
to decrease this fruitfulness and variety with the exception of to please crucial
people requirements. Despite the fact that Deep Ecologists are more hateful towards
the effect of human life towards the nature and wild life, they hold responsible
the whole people as a whole: poor and rich.

Only thing we would connect Deep Ecologist and Neo Malthusians on the population
control basis. Both parties claim that we need to control the population growth
because, as the population flourishes more supplies will be needed however where
the population grows exponentially, supplies are growing arithmetically as Thomas
Robert Malthus suggested in his book Essay on the Principle of Population.
(Malthus, 1798) Neo-Malthusians advanced the Malthusians’ ideas on two points: they
stood on birth control approaches besides likewise recognized the working class
with the glitch of overpopulation. The congested industrial favelas were recognized
as places of moral deterioration. (Shah, 2013)

The Neo-Malthusian position originate courtesy with the elite opinions on the
subject of overpopulation. The elite, endangered by the rising quantities of
masses, measured birth control as a significant ways of testing forthcoming
struggle over their belongings. Thus, as far as we can observe, Neo-Malthusians
were the backer of elites where David Foreman and Deep Ecologists are the protector
of nature and wild life.

Although all of them care for nature and birth control, they differentiate at
certain points. Labelling the Deep Ecologist and David Foreman is a mean argument
whether they did something wrong as in the case of THERMCON and Deep Ecologists
hate for human as in the critics of Murray Bookchin. (Bookchin, 1987) Besides, as
the Neo-Malthusians take poor into account for the bad effects on nature and wild
life, others consider the whole human kind. Moreover, Neo-Malthusians just care the
welfare of elites in the name of “ecology and wild life”. If we act in a
responsible way, we can stop the devastation of nature and wild like.
Overpopulation is not the problem, human behavior is.
