Overshoot and Collapse.................. Natures way of dealing with...populations energybulletin.net St. Matthew Island -- Overshoot & Collapse by Ned Rozell / Dan Chay The story of St. Matthew Island's reindeer population from 1944 (29) to 1966 (42), featured in today's Anchorage Daily News, is a potential metaphor for our times. For many generations of reindeer, St. Matthew Island was literally a land of plenty. The reindeer population on the island exploded following its introduction. By 1963, the population had grown to more than 6000 reindeer. Two years later, 99% of that herd had died of starvation, having destroyed the environment that sustained them, depleting their primary energy source. Fossil fuels are the lichen that has sustained the global human population explosion and the parallel growth of industrial throughput and consumption of the last 400 years.
