What is overpopulation and why is it a problem?
Human overpopulation occurs when the demand a group imposes on the environment (i.e., its ecological footprint) surpasses the capacity of that geographic space to sustain the population (i.e., its carrying capacity; see Kopnina & Washington, 2016, and Peacock, 2018).

A reduction in available resources can result in overpopulation if the amount of available resources cannot sustain the population within that region. Some examples include desert environments or times of drought which make crops and other sources of food scarce.
