Negative Impact of Humans: Overpopulation

The Negative Impacts of Overpopulation

Humans can often have a negative impact on the environment. The human population is getting bigger. This is having a negative impact on the environment.

Loss of habitats

The growing human population is causing some animal and plant habitats to be lost.
- A habitat is the natural home of an animal.

Natural resources used more

Humans are using more and more natural resources.
- These resources are getting used up and soon there won't be any left.

Using more energy

As the human population gets bigger, we use more energy.
Because we are using more energy, we are contributing more to global warming and climate change.
