Impact of Human Population Growth on Resources and Ecosystem (2)

Of all these problems, creation of unstable ecosystem is the worst. In a natural state, earth’s life forms live in equilibrium with their environment. The resources available to them govern the number and activities of each species. Species interaction is common, with the waste product of one species often forming the food supply of another. Humans alone have the ability to gather resources from beyond their immediate surroundings and process those resources into different, more versatile forms. These abilities have made it possible for human population to thrive and flourish beyond natural constraints. But the natural and manufactured wastes generated and released into the biosphere by these increased numbers of human beings have upset the natural equilibrium.
