| Abstract: |
Population growth, coupled with increasing consumption, is placing unprecedented demands on the nation's environment and natural resources. In recognition of this problem, the Renewable Natural Resources Foundation (RNRF) convened a national meeting of resource professionals and educators to explore the impacts of population growth, urban development, and consumption patterns on the sustainability, management, and conservation of natural resources. Delegates also proposed strategies and recommendations to mitigate the impacts of population growth on natural resources. Although the scope of the congress was limited to the U.S., global linkages and problems also were considered. The congress, entitled Human Population Growth: Impacts on the Sustainability of Renewable Natural Resources, was hosted by the Institute for the Environment at The George Washington University, Washington, D.C., September 16-19, 1998.
