For half a century, scientists have stated that very soon, we will face the problem of overpopulation. Essential topics such as plastic pollution, deforestation, extinction of wildlife, and global climate change are directly related to overcrowding. It can be stated the confidence that the solution to this global challenge is the primary duty of present and future generations. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the overpopulation phenomenon and propose optimal solutions to the problem.
For a long time, people have believed that human beings are the crown of creation of nature. Massive population growth has led to the fact that humankind has become the bane of planet Earth. In just one hundred years, the number of human beings has grown from one and a half to almost eight billion. It was possible thanks to scientific and technological innovations and the system of accessible education. The following ignorant and wasteful use of natural resources also played a role. The keys to solving overpopulation can still be found in these areas. Competent and universal sex education, family policy, and government regulations in natural resource extraction can become possible ways to fix the problem of overpopulation. It is time for human beings to grow up and begin to take care of the future of the planet.
Overpopulation is an issue not only for humanity but for the Earth as a whole. The problem negatively affects the natural and social aspects of human life. Essential factors for a possible solution to overcrowding are competent and modern social policy and government supervision in the field of natural resources. We have a liability to all living creatures on the planet, and we must keep this in mind.
