Considering the existence of polluted air, deforestation, depleted fisheries, species extinction, poverty and global warming, do you believe that the Earth’s carrying capacity has already been reached?​

The carrying capacity of an ecosystem, for example the Earth system, is the ability of an ecosystem to provide biological species for their existence; that is, the living environment is able to provide them with a habitat, sufficient food, water and other necessities for a longer period of time.

When the populations of different species living in an ecosystem increase, the pressure on the environment increases, partly due to intensive use. The population size decreases again when the population exceeds the carrying capacity, so that a natural equilibrium is maintained. This is due to a number of factors, depending on the species involved. Examples are insufficient space, sunlight and food.

Thus, given the current conditions of pollution, extinction of species and other environmental damage caused by humans on Earth, it can be said that we are about to exceed the limit of carrying capacity of the Earth, which would imply that this, through different natural forces, would seek to stabilize said overpopulation to return the environmental environment to a state of equilibrium.
