Detailed explanation-1: -What will most likely happen if the human population continues to grow at current rates? There will be fewer natural resources available for future generations.
Detailed explanation-2: -A population is in overshoot when it exceeds available carrying capacity. A population in overshoot may permanently impair the long-term productive potential of its habitat, reducing future carrying capacity. It may survive temporarily but will eventually crash as it depletes vital natural capital (resource) stocks.
Detailed explanation-3: -One of the major environmental consequences of the unchecked population growth is the global ecological degradation and the decline of biodiversity. This article aims to find out if there is a causal link between population growth and environmental degradation.
