Population and the Environment Lowering global population growth rates and reducing the environmental impacts of human activities are critical conservation issues. This program works to achieve a sustainable balance among the world's population, environmental quality, wildlife habitat and our finite natural resources. Trade and Environment International trade affects wildlife, wildlife habitats, and the laws which protect the environment. This program works to reform the rules of international trade to safeguard and promote environmental laws. This program, geared for grades K-12, offers teacher workshops, classroom materials and web resources.
Volunteers also lead workshops in classrooms.
Backyard Wildlife Habitat Backyards can be great habitats for wildlife if they offer food, water, cover and places to raise young. This program teaches people how to assess their yard and make it wildlife-friendly. Then the yard can be certified. Now schools and businesses are getting involved too. All rights reserved.
