An increase in population can endanger a species, because it's entirely possible that that species will use up too many natural resources because of it's growing population, and then the masses will not have enough resources to survive, thus the species becomes extinct. One of the most famous examples of this is the Easter Island. It's believed that the people of that island cut down trees to make sleds which they dragged their enormous statues to the beaches with. The more people there were, the more trees they used, and then the trees became extinct, which resulted in the people dying because those trees were also their food source.
That's why a healthy (not too big or small) population is crucial to the survival of a species.
