Frank,
You seem to think it is so easy to fix. Many countries have attempted to address the over-population issue and although its still a problem, there are other bigger ones. Yes, the planet can only support a certain amount of people and if the baby-making machines(us) don't chill out, then there will be a huge problem sooner than later.
But things like carbon dioxide from cutting down trees and burning gasoline are causing problems as well. Its not just over population that is causing trees to get cut down, its unindustrialized nations that need to survive. Trees may be there only way to provide heat for their family's. And all of these problems will wipe out our population as well as the animals if its not under control. Stopping having babies wont change the fact that people ignore the world falling apart because they can't see it directly. What about the highest amount of the most intense hurricanes last year? Coincidence? Hmmm
So if we can attempt to not destroy the reptile population before we destroy everything else, that would be nice. Lets work on educating people about over-crowding issues, as well as others like carbon dioxide and using wild caught female monitors so we can produce wild caught babies and market them for something else to make a few extra bucks for doing less work. If we work on breeding them here and promote against wild caught stuff, then they wont have anyone to sell to. Maybe then they will find something else to exploit.... and have less babies.
