Resumen

En el cuento clásico "El Principito" aparece la siguiente observación sobre el único habitante humano de un planeta muy pequeño y propenso a una especie de inestabilidad o peligro en forma de árboles gigantescos: ... En efecto, según he sabido, había en el planeta donde vivía el principito -como en todos los planetas- plantas buenas y plantas malas. En consecuencia, había semillas buenas de plantas buenas, y semillas malas de plantas malas. Pero las semillas son invisibles. Duermen en lo más profundo de la oscuridad de la tierra, hasta que alguien entre ellas se apodera del deseo de despertar. Entonces esta pequeña semilla se estirará y comenzará -tímidamente al principio- a empujar un encantador ramito inofensivo hacia el sol. Si sólo se trata de un brote de rábano o de la ramita de un rosal, se le deja crecer donde quiera. Pero cuando se trata de una planta mala, hay que destruirla cuanto antes, en el primer instante en que se la reconoce... Ahora bien, en el planeta que albergaba al principito había unas semillas terribles, que eran las del baobab. El suelo de ese planeta estaba infestado de ellas. Un baobab es algo de lo que nunca, nunca podrás deshacerte si lo atiendes demasiado tarde. Se extiende por todo el planeta. Lo atraviesa con sus raíces. Y si el planeta es demasiado pequeño, y los baobabs son demasiados, lo parten en pedazos... "Es una cuestión de disciplina", me dijo más tarde el principito. "Cuando hayas terminado tu propio aseo por la mañana, entonces es el momento de atender el aseo de tu planeta, así, con el mayor cuidado. Tú
Debes ocuparte de arrancar regularmente todos los baobabs, en el primer momento en que puedan distinguirse de los rosales a los que tanto se parecen en su primera juventud. Es un trabajo muy tedioso -añadió el principito-, pero muy fácil"... (De Saint-Exupéry, 2015)
La población mundial actual es de 7.361.062.100 habitantes y esta enorme cifra aumenta con una velocidad espantosa cada segundo. Algunos expertos en demografía afirman que: "...En los albores de la agricultura, alrededor del año 8000 antes de Cristo, la población del mundo era de aproximadamente 5 millones. Durante el período de 8.000 años hasta el año 1 d.C. creció hasta los 200 millones (algunos estiman 300 millones o incluso 600, lo que sugiere lo imprecisas que pueden ser las estimaciones de población de los primeros períodos históricos), con una tasa de crecimiento inferior al 0. Se produjo un cambio tremendo con la revolución industrial: mientras que la población mundial había tardado toda la historia de la humanidad hasta alrededor de 1800 en alcanzar los mil millones, el segundo mil millones se alcanzó en sólo 130 años (1930), el tercer mil millones en menos de 30 años (1959), el cuarto mil millones en 15 años (1974), y el quinto mil millones en sólo 13 años (1987)... La población del mundo crece actualmente (en 2015-2016) a un ritmo de alrededor del 1,13% anual. El cambio medio de la población se estima actualmente en unos 80 millones por año..." (Worldometers, 2015).

abstract = "In the classic tale “The Little Prince” appears the following remark about the only human inhabitant of a very small planet which is prone to a kind of instability or danger in form of gigantic trees: … Indeed, as I learned, there were on the planet where the little prince lived--as on all planets—good plants and bad plants. In consequence, there were good seeds from good plants, and bad seeds from bad plants. But seeds are invisible. They sleep deep in the heart of the earth{\textquoteright}s darkness, until someone among them is seized with the desire to awaken. Then this little seed will stretch itself and begin—timidly at first--to push a charming little sprig inoffensively upward toward the sun. If it is only a sprout of radish or the sprig of a rose-bush, one would let it grow wherever it might wish. But when it is a bad plant, one must destroy it as soon as possible, the very first instant that one recognizes it …Now there were some terrible seeds on the planet that was the home of the little prince; and these were the seeds of the baobab. The soil of that planet was infested with them. A baobab is something you will never, never be able to get rid of if you attend to it too late. It spreads over the entire planet. It bores clear through it with its roots. And if the planet is too small, and the baobabs are too many, they split it in pieces …”It is a question of discipline,” the little prince said to me later on. “When you{\textquoteright}ve finished your own toilet in the morning, then it is time to attend to the toilet of your planet, just so, with the greatest care. Youmust see to it that you pull up regularly all the baobabs, at the very first moment when they can be distinguished from the rosebushes which they resemble so closely in their earliest youth. It is very tedious work,” the little prince added, “but very easy” … (De Saint-Exup{\'e}ry, 2015)The current world population is 7,361,062,100 and this huge number is increasing with dreadful velocity every second. Some experts in demography affirm that: “…At the dawn of agriculture, about 8000 B.C., the population of the world was approximately 5 million. Over the 8,000-year period up to 1 A.D. it grew to 200 million (some estimate 300 million or even 600, suggesting how imprecise population estimates of early historical periods can be), with a growth rate of under 0.05% per year…A tremendous change occurred with the industrial revolution: whereas it had taken all of human history until around 1800 for world population to reach one billion, the second billion was achieved in only 130 years(1930), the third billion in less than 30 years (1959), the fourth billion in 15 years (1974), and the fifth billion in only 13 years (1987)… Population in the world is currently (as of 2015-2016) growing at a rate of around 1.13% per year.
