Over population of humans matters because we are not a small size animal. Also we need more space, more resources to live our life in comparison to other animals. As we are the only animal species which need food, shelter, clothing, means of entertainment etc. and for these things many other things are needed.
We cannot simply live like some tribal people who don't abuse nature. Can you imagine how your breakfast reaches to you? The bread you eat comes from agriculture fields in which a lot of things are needed to grow wheat. That wheat is harvested and send to factories to make flour. That flour goes to the factories where bread is made and finally it is transported to the local shops from where you get it. So you can see that in every step loads of energy and technology is involved. You need machines to cultivate cereals. You need transport system to deliver things from one place to another place. Those machines, trucks etc are manufactured in factories where energy and raw material is needed. That raw material is obtained from mines which also need many resources to get minerals. So, it is a long chain in which every component is linked with many other components. It is a very complex system which demands deforestation from large areas. Our every action leave a bad impact on environment. We have destroyed the eco-system of this planet. We made many animal and plant species to extinct.
So, over population is not a myth. It is an reality. If you visit over crowed cities of India, you will realize what I am talking about. You cannot blame only the rich persons for the exploitation of nature. Everyone will do the same if he/she gets enough money to enjoy like rich people.
Also, the problem of illegal migrants has become a menace for many countries. The original dwellers are feeling pressure on themselves because immigrants can change the demographic balance of any country.
Over population is not a myth. It is a reality.
