In what ways has the human population put pressure on the land

The environment on earth is suffering from the growth of global population. The depletion of resources and biodiversity, the production of waste, and the destroying of natural habitat are serious problems that must be addressed in order to ensure that life on earth will be sustainable throughout the next century. Humans extract and build everyday, this effects our ecosystem and effects the pressure of the land. More population means more space to construct houses and availability of more consumer goods. It   also requires   more means  of transport,  more  consumption  of  fossil  fuels  and more pollution of air, land and water. Thus growth of population leads to pollution of air, land and  water. Different  types of pollution are  causing  a  number  of  problems  in the physical environment that are further affecting the biological environment seriously.

I hope this helps in some way!
