#rise #world’s #population #humanity #time
Our planet is facing numerous
problems
,
such
 as rising population around the world, which can lead to
problems
such
 as
overpopulation
. The effect of
overpopulation
 can be immense, and some
people
 consider it the greatest problem faced by all mankind. To better tackle the
problems
overpopulation
 has brought about, we should
first
 look at the possible factors that contributed to
this
 problem. Technological advancement was perhaps the biggest reason as
people
 are able to produce a great amount of food. Advances in medical science have enabled us to defeat a whole range of diseases. Combining the increase in food supply with a low mortality rate tipped the balance and became the starting point of
overpopulation
.
In addition
, some
people
 have little or no knowledge about family planning. Those
people
 are unable to understand the harmful effects of
overpopulation
 and lack of quality education prompts them to avoid contraceptive measures. The effects of
overpopulation
 are quite severe. The
first
 of these is the depletion of resources. The Earth can only produce a limited amount of water and food, which is falling short of the current needs. Most of the environmental damage being seen in the
last
 fifty years is because of the growing number of
people
 on the planet. They are cutting down forests, hunting wildlife in a reckless manner, causing pollution and creating a host of
problems
.

 we are facing at the moment can be traced back to

. As the population is growing at a rapid pace, raising awareness among
people
 regarding family planning and the severe consequences of

 can hopefully curb the increasing number of
people
 around the world. If we can all act in a more responsible manner, we can solve the problem one day.
