Overpopulation is threatening the future of humanity. Overpopulation of any species eventually leads to a often catastrophic population collapse. The explosion of the human population from less than 650 million in the early 18th century to now more than 8 billion has many drivers and many forces are working against any measure to reduce growth or even revert this dramatic explosion. The result is a rapid degradation of the health of the Earth's life-support system. Thresholds that cannot be crossed if a population collapse is to be avoided may already have been crossed or are close to be crossed. We want to understand the drivers, identify the forces promoting more growth or preventing limitations, and we want to detect the thresholds before the tipping point of catastrophic population collapse.

If you are worried about overpopulation and want to help understand the systemic reason for this ridiculous explosion, then join us! We need you.

[Jan. 25, 2025] Did you know?: About 7.5% (about 8 billion) of all the humans that have ever lived on Earth (between 108 and 117 billion in total) are alive this day today! This is OVERSHOOT. It is an explosion! And explosions are know to cause often very much damage. No other species of mammals has ever created such a explosion!

[Jan. 18, 2025] The Overshoot Podcast: This “OVERSHOOT | Shrink Toward Abundance” podcast is moderated by Nandita Bajaj of Population Balance. The people at Population Balance “envision a future where our human footprint is in balance with life on Earth, enabling all species to thrive.” The podcast Beyond Pronatalism" also moderated by Nandita is a place where people can talk about their struggles and efforts to get beyond the pressures of a culture promoting pronatalism everywhere.
