population growth

Sometimes I can't believe what I read, We are all aware the poulation on the earth is far to large, yet when any population for a given geographical area drops we raise deep concerns. Well, do we want fewer people or do we want to cover every square inch of the planet with human flesh. This next piece was taken from todays news.
"United Nations experts have urged Russian authorities to boost social spending to improve health care and prevent the population decline".

Now my view for starters.
We look and see company goals, family goals, teaching goals to our children, goals for everything but one. where is the world wide goal for the peoples of the earth?
Where is it?
One, we should start with lowering the population of peoples to a point where the planet can sustain that population in a natural balance.
Hows that for starters?
