Solution

Today, we suffer from a “population explosion.” This means that the world’s population has been booming rapidly, rising to unwanted numbers. Looking back at history, the world’s population in 3,000 BC was an estimated 200 million, but now the world’s population has gone up to 7 billion. As we reach an environmental tipping point, we must find solutions for this rapid growth.
Four Possible Effects of Overpopulation:-
1. Food Shortage
2. Increase in Malignant Diseases
3. Higher Prices
4. Higher Levels of Pollution
