Natural resource it is everything that humanity obtains from nature to satisfy its needs and desires, both individually and collectively.

Not renewable they are the resources that exist in fixed quantities and that can be fully depleted (fossil fuels, minerals). Their rate of formation is infinitely slower than the rate at which they are consumed.
Renewable they are the ones that nature regenerates at a rate similar to that at which they are consumed. Some do not run out no matter how much they are used (solar energy), but most must be defined as potentially renewable which are those that are replaced as they are consumed, but can run out if the regeneration rate is exceeded (fish, river water, soil).

WORLD OVERPOPULATION. This implies an exorbitant consumption that generates depletion of resources, increased waste, problems of lack of water, desertification... Said growth, moreover, is uneven. The poorest countries show higher population growth (Kenya doubles its population in 20 years - Spain does it in 340 years).
