Human overpopulation

Human overpopulation (or population overshoot) occurs when the ecological footprint of a human population in a specific geographical location exceeds the carrying capacity of the place occupied by that group. Overpopulation can further be viewed, in a long term perspective, as existing if a population cannot be maintained given the rapid depletion of non-renewable resources or given the degradation of the capacity of the environment to give support to the population. Changes in lifestyle could reverse overpopulated status without a large population reduction.

Some examples can be:

1 - China: 1,415 million

2 - India: 1,354 million

3 - United States: 326 million

4 - Indonesia: 266 million

5 - Brazil: 210 million

6 - Pakistan: 200 million

7 - Nigeria: 195 million

8 - Bangladesh: 166 million

9 - Russia: 143 million

10 - Mexico: 130 million
