Professor Richard Arculus from the Australian National University (anu.edu.au) looks at what defines a resource. This is part of a series of videos on how human activities affect sustainability.

This clip has been created by the Research School of Earth Sciences (rses.anu.edu.au). These resources are part of a comprehensive program, curriculum matched to the unit 'Unit 3 Living on Earth - extracting, using and managing Earth resources'.

This video touches on the following curriculum descriptors: 

Overharvesting can directly reduce populations of biota to beneath the threshold of population viability; the concept of maximum sustainable yield aims to enable sustainable harvesting (ACSES082)
