It probably depends on whether it is going to be invaded?

You seem to have a growth rate of 0.8x % and it is dropping.

The records given may had special factors involved and any figure based on the small amount of data will be wrong.

I don't understand how the growth rate can be dropping when the population is building.

The rate at which the population is growing is slowing down. Right?

If you could get more data you could enter it on a curve fitting program and select the formula showing the least deviation.

For a minute there I had a shock hiotemp. I didn't recall posting a comment on this question.

Now I have forgotten what I was going to say.

Maybe IVF is needed to bolster the population if they going to be invaded.
