overpopulation issues

Overpopulation occurs when the number of people exceeds the environment’s ability to provide sustainable resources like water, food, and space. This can lead to environmental degradation, increased pollution, and strain on healthcare, education, and infrastructure. As population grows rapidly, resources become scarcer, which can cause conflicts, poverty, and reduced quality of life. Managing overpopulation involves balancing population growth with ecological capacity, promoting sustainable development, and improving resource efficiency to ensure future generations can meet their needs without harming the planet.
