Población y estrategias para el desarrollo nacional sostenible : una guía para el diseño de políticas nacionales que articulen la población y el medio ambiente en estrategias para el desarrollo sostenible

This guide serves as a resource for policy makers and staff of conservation and population organizations who wish to integrate population dynamics into environmental planning for sustainable development. It presents the basic rationale for linking population and environmental issues, including the demonstrable impact that population dymanics and rising consumption are having on the environment. At the same time, it acknowledges the difficulty of achieving integration due to long-entrenched disciplinary and institutional specialization.

Nous et nos ressources : recherche-action participative sur la dymanique démographique et l'environnement local : comment appuyer les communautés rurales

This handbook illustrates concepts, methods and tools for "primary environmental care", an approach that seeks to empower communities to meet basic needs while protecting the environment. In particular, it focuses on how population size, structure, growth (or decline) and movements relate to the quality of the environment and the quality of life. Emphasis is placed on a community-led process of participatory action research in which local knowledge and skills are fully utilized.
