Human Overpopulation
Human overpopulation occurs when the number of people exceeds the resources available to sustain them. This can lead to environmental degradation, depletion of natural resources, and increased competition for food, water, and shelter. As the global population continues to grow, these challenges become more pronounced, affecting both urban and rural areas.
Factors contributing to overpopulation include advances in medicine, which reduce mortality rates, and improved agricultural practices that increase food production. Additionally, cultural and social factors, such as high birth rates in certain regions, play a significant role. Addressing overpopulation requires a combination of education, family planning, and sustainable resource management.
