	Human Population & Natural Resource Management

The sustainability of humanity depends in large measure on our ability to bring mankind into a lasting equilibrium with Nature. However, while the rate of human population growth is declining, the absolute number of people on Earth continues to increase. This places an ever-mounting pressure on the Earth's limited environmental and natural resources. This database provides fast access to the information essential to meeting this seminal challenge for of the 21st Century. Human Population & Natural Resource Management explores human population and demography topics, as well as societal issues involving natural resource management. Coverage includes relevant papers, reports, books and reviews from standard peer-reviewed scientific journals. To ensure comprehensive coverage, material from conference proceedings and hard-to-find gray literature has also been summarized.

AB:	Abstract What distinguishes environmental refugees from other refugees--or other migrants? Are all environmental refugees alike? This essay develops a classification to begin to answer these questions and facilitate future policies and research on environmental refugees. Environmental refugees may have considerable control over the decision to migrate, but this varies by the type of environmental disruption. The origin, intention, and duration of environmental disruptions shape the type of refugee. Refugees from disasters and expropriations have limited control over whether environmental changes will produce migration. Gradual degradation allows "environmental emigrants" to determine how they will respond to environmental change.
