Paul R. Ehrlich is an American biologist and Emeritus Professor of Population Studies at Stanford University. He is known for his influential 1968 book, The Population Bomb, which warned of severe consequences of population growth such as famine and resource depletion. Ehrlich has advocated for population control measures, including coercive methods if voluntary approaches prove ineffective. Though some scholars agree with his viewpoints, Ehrlich has also faced criticism for the pessimistic outlook of his predictions and instances where they have not come to fruition.
