What are the environmental implications of overpopulation?
Overpopulation leads to increased demand for resources such as water, food, and energy, which can strain the environment. It often results in habitat destruction, increased pollution, greater waste production, and the overexploitation of natural resources. Additionally, overpopulation can exacerbate problems like deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and heightened greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change and environmental degradation.
