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.
