Answer:

Ecological footprint estimates the requirements of renewable resources that a population consumes to live a particular lifestyle. Some ecologists are concerned because the result of the ecological footprint shows that the demand of the population is increasing in comparison to the supply of nature.

For example in India, the ecological footprint shows negative impact of population demand over supply of nature.
