	Natural resource - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Natural resources must be developed and nature will only find her destiny once capital and technology have been brought into play.
		A resource is now defined scientifically as a form of energy or matter that is essential for the functioning of organisms, populations and ecosystems.
		In the particular case of humans, a natural resource is any form of energy or matter essential for the fulfilment of physiological, socioeconomic and cultural needs, both at the individual level and that of the community.

	Natural Resource Damages: A Primer, NRD, Superfund, US EPA
		The measure of damages is the cost of restoring injured resources to their baseline condition, compensation for the interim loss of injured resources pending recovery, and the reasonable cost of a damage assessment [ 43 CFR Part 11 ; 15 CFR Part 990].
		EPA is not a Natural Resource Trustee, nor is it authorized to act on behalf of Natural Resource Trustees.
		Natural Resource Trustees are required to develop and implement plans for the restoration of natural resources.

	Natural Resource Management
		As pressures on the natural environment continue to increase the need to ensure the sustainability of natural resources for future generations has never been greater.
		The sustainable future of natural resources relies upon the integrated management of social, economic, human, biological and physical capital and the careful planning of future resource use.
		Natural Resource Managers of the future will need to understand how these different forms of capital interact and harness existing and new techniques to solve Natural Resource issues of the future.

	Natural Resource Mangement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Camp Pendleton's natural resource management philosophy is that management programs should achieve the objectives of regulatory requirements and foster stewardship of the resources entrusted to Marine Corps while not constraining the ability to accomplish established and future military training requirements.
		Ultimately, the success of Camp Pendleton's natural resources management is reflected in the long term sustainability of species populations and ecosystem functions, the maintenance of regulatory compliance, and in the continued ability of Camp Pendleton to support the military mission.
		Natural resources on Camp Pendleton reflect the rich diversity of species and habitat types formerly present within the region.

	Department of Natural Resource Sciences
		The Department of Natural Resource Sciences at WSU is fully committed to advancing scientific knowledge of natural resources and ecosystems, including their ecological attributes and functions and their future management in an ecologically, socially and economically sound, sustainable manner.
		We live in an age of often-competing values of and from natural resources, wherein values/interests of different segments of society are often in real - or perceived - conflict with those of others (e.g., environmental vs. economic values of natural resources).
		The approach of this NRS program area on social and economic dimensions therefore is to address economic, social and policy issues of direct relevance to natural resources in a fashion that incorporates socioeconomic concerns (and input from social science fields) with those of the various fields of applied ecology relevant to resource management.

	Agenda 21 - Nigeria
		Agricultural Land Resource Programme: The objectives of this programme are to select suitable lands for the production of specific crops through soil survey and land evaluation; monitor and improve their quality through soil fertility management; and ensure the conservation of the fertility of agricultural lands through rehabilitation of degraded lands.
		The objectives of the study are: a) data collection and analysis of the country's forest resources in order to overcome problems of rational planning arising from the serious dearth of reliable and up-to-date data; b) preparation of management plans for sustainable development, management, and utilization of forest resources; and c) institutional and man-power capacity building.
		Trials of this nature have successfully been completed in parts of the Eastern States, and similar trials are being initiated in the north-western part of the country.
