This means peripheral forest lands may be exploited to make space for such needs and also to supply wood for the people. Additionally, the land is degraded as a result of continuous construction and land pollution.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Water resources:<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Water pollution, water shortage, and water stress are often a characteristic of overpopulated regions. This is usually caused by the combination of poor sanitation, waste disposal, and excessive dependence on freshwater systems.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Energy resources:<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">People require energy to power their vehicles, run their industries, keep their homes warm, and provide heat for various purposes. This energy is obtained from a variety of sources including fossil fuels, hydroelectricity, wood, and other forms. With overpopulation, there is an increased demand for energy, and the use of these sources has a direct negative impact on the environment.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ecosystems:<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ecosystem structure, function, integrity, and composition, supported by land and water resources directly take a hit when populations grow. Habitat and food chains are destroyed as humans encroach on the living spaces of biodiversity. Animals are forced away to find new habitats, many more die and some species have become extinct as a result.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-cab35eb\" data-id=\"cab35eb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2c8cdf elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"e2c8cdf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Tall-Responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4993435605385515\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"6804764118\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-5f062ce elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5f062ce\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-7aea3f8\" data-id=\"7aea3f8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff2d0fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"ff2d0fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/causes-of-overpopulation\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">GO BACK<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d4d664a\" data-id=\"d4d664a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d71c5df elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"d71c5df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/overpopulation-facts\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">NEXT PAGE<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overpopulation What is Overpopulation Overpopulation Terms Effects of Overpopulation Causes of Overpopulation Environment Overpopulation Facts Overpopulation and the environment.
