Description: Population Action International invites you to explore this new database, which includes a clickable map to retrieve data by country, and also allows you to search by specific natural resource indicators, including population, arable land, renewable fresh water, carbon dioxide emissions, and forest cover. First published in 2000, People in the Balance is the tenth in PAI’s series of natural resource studies. It provides a clear picture of the relationship between people and critical natural resources, and is intended as a concise resource for environmentalists, scientists, teachers and advocates, as well as policymakers.
