Overpopulation
Overpopulation is caused by a number of factors. Reduced mortality rate, better medical
facilities, depletion of precious resources are few of the causes which result in overpopulation.
It is possible for a sparsely populated area to become densely populated if it is not able to
sustain life.

The consequences of overpopulation on the one hand is deforestation and desertification,


extinction of animal and plant species and changes in the water cycle and the most direct
consequence of all in the form of emissions of large quantities of greenhouse gases leading to
global warming.
