Overpopulation of humans is caused by lack of Birth Control, lack of education, and poverty.

Overpopulation in animals is caused by an abundance of food or the removal of predators or competitors.

There has been some research done that suggests the education of women lowers the Birth Rate. No one can explain why this happens. If the woman is taught to read even at a primary school level it still seems to lower the number of children she has. Education of women also improves the health of a community as the woman is usually the primary care giver, if she can read she can learn how to boil water, take correct doses of medicine, learn many useful skills.
