Earth Day is on April 22^nd, and we invite you to celebrate with us! We'll be hosting two virtual events: 

• An official side event to the 58th Session of the United Nations Commission on Population and Development, held on Thursday, April 10^th, at 12:00pm ET/9:00am PT. We're hosting this 90-minute panel discussion with a conservation expert and two population stabilization advocates. 
• A presentation by our President and CEO John Seager, entitled Deadly Silence: Ignoring Overpopulation Risks the Future of Our Living Planet. This event will take place on Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22^nd, at 2:00pm ET/11:00am PT.

We're also reopening the Green Spaces of Our Lives photo project for submissions! Take part by sharing a photo of yourself enjoying the natural spaces you love! We hope you’ll participate along with your fellow Population Connection members and supporters, who—like you—are dedicated to saving this beautiful planet we all call home.

Keep a lookout for new blog articles and social media posts throughout the month as well!

Our Population Education program's spring quarterly theme is “Our Power, Our Planet.” We chose this theme because the way we produce and use energy has far reaching implications for air pollution, habitats and biodiversity, human health, and, of course, climate change.

Read more about this theme and get a preview of the lesson plans, activities, and resources that PopEd staff will be sharing to support teachers in bringing this important topic to their classrooms over the next few months. 

The March 2025 issue of Population Connection is live on our website!

In the wake of the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade in June 2022, permanent sterilization consultations and procedures—especially for vasectomy—have increased to the point where patient waiting lists at urology clinics are often months long. A new study found that, as a group, young men ages 19–26 had 95% more vasectomies in August 2022 than in May 2022. Another study looked at patients of all ages and found that vasectomy services steadily increased from 146,796 in 2019 to 198,212 in 2022.

This issue explores the stories of the real people behind these statistics. Click through to read it below!
