Overpopulation and nature, conceptual image. Illustration of human figures (blue) representing population growth, and tree images, representing nature. The Earth's population grew rapidly in the 20th century due to increased healthcare, reduced infant mortality and increased life expectancy. In the early 21st century, the world population is over 6 billion, and it is thought the global population could reach 11 billion by 2050. The human population may exceed the available resources, as well as severely impacting the natural environment and ecosystems, triggering mass extinctions of species.
