What are some strategies that can be used to mitigate the loss of a natural resource?
How has technology affected the use and views of natural resources?
How can management, protection, enhancement, and improvement of natural resources evolve through social considerations (e.g., establishment of national parks, influencing public opinion, waste reduction, reduction of energy consumption)?
