Rising population is a major source of environmental degradation in India. Population affects the environment through the use of natural resources and production of wastes. These lead to loss of bio­diversity, air and water pollution and increased pressure on land.

Excessive deforestation and overgrazing by the growing population have led to land degradation. A major cause of the loss of bio-diversity has been the depletion of vegetation in order to expand agriculture by the rapidly rising population. Industrialization, urbanisation, growth of mega cities and increasing vehicular traffic have led to atmospheric pollution.
