Overpopulation and Depopulation: What have been happening now?



Look at the picture above, let us find out what are the differents between the top and the bottom? We could diractly answer the question, at the top of the picture, there is a sentence "In the beginning" and the core point that we see is a smiling couple reads a newspaper in the green park with many kinds of animals. Instead of at the bottom of  the picture, there are lots of people in the world and a few animals with a tall building complete with pollution, and let us look deeply where is the little blue bird perched? Yes, in a tree that has been cut down and we have to note a sentence has written in the upper left corner "In the present". Thus we can see that there are lots of diffents between in the beginning and in the present of this earth. It is commonly known as overpopulation and depopulation.

Then, what exactly is the meaning of overpopulation and depopulation? Overpopulation is where the population of a particular environment or habitat exceeds its sustainable size. So, when a population of humans, animals, trees, and so on are exceeds the capacity of an area, it is called as overpopulation.
Because of this overpopulation, we should do depopulation. Depopulation is the condition of having reduced numbers of inhabitants (or no inhabitants at all). In other words, both of these things are causal relations where depopulation happened because overpopulation.


Moreover, what are the causes and effects of overpopulation? Overpopulation happened due to a very large difference between the mortality and birth rates, where birth rates continue to increase due to the many new discoveries in terms of fertility treatments especially for infertile couples and lack of family planning while the low mortality rates are due to the many new discoveries in defeating various kinds of diseases such as vaccines, better medical facilities, and the number of hands that can help. Another cause comes from immigration, people like to move to other countries for reasons of employment and sophisticated state facilities, especially in developed countries. In conclusion, actually the main cause of overpopulation that we are facing now is the huge rapid technological development. But, we have to know and realize the causes of this overpopulation are something good and not wrong but this can have bad effects.

Nonetheless, how about the effects of overpopulation? First, because of overpopulation, the availability of natural resources becomes unbalanced with the human resources that need it, this causes many animals that are becoming extinct and increasingly difficult basic needs such as rice in Indonesia which must be imported from other countries. Second is environmental degradation, the excessive use of coal, oil and natural gas, has begun to produce some serious effects on our environment, the increase in the number of vehicles and industries has greatly affected air quality as well as an increase in the amount of CO2 emissions causing global warming. Other causes are war and conflict, high unemployment, and high cost of living.



As explained above that depopulation must be done because of overpopulation that is happening now. However, the big question now is "Is depopulation done now?" the answer is "Yes, it is!", whether we realize it or not but depopulation is really happening now particularly humans population, there are lots of conspirations between us. For instance, the immunized vaccine is lured by the efforts of an 'elite' group in reducing the population of the earth, the corona virus deseases which is also thought to be the act of an 'elite' group in fulfilling its mission of making the current population of 7 billion to 500 million. , and many other conspiracies. However, this truth has not been ascertained because the evidence has not yet been found regarding who is behind this. What we can do now is to take care of the earth that is our home, do small things in changing our lifestyle for the sake of the sustainability of life on earth.

“Our object must be to bring our territory into harmony with the numbers of our population.” -Adolf Hitler
