Can someone give me an example of a Federal Natural Resource or Environmental policy, law, or regulation?

The Endangered Species Act of 1973 is a statute, or law. The text can be found here: http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa.html\n\nThe act enables federal agencies, I think primarily the fish and wildlife agency, to name specific endangered species. These aren't named in the text of the statute, but are named in rules and regulations that are developed under the guidance of the statute and, once enacted, have the force of law. The listed endangered species can be found through this page: http://www.fws.gov/endangered/listing/index.html\n\nThe pages in this area provide more information about the act, how it is enacted through rules and regulation, requests for changes in status to endangered species or additions of species not yet listed, and other related information.

Here are a couple of great sites on pond ecosystems, including a powerpoint presentation.\n\nI hope this helps.

I'm also doing an environmental project (school). I found lots of interesting stuff by asking the people around here. Try that but don't say it's your homework or something.

Google that and you will find as I did that there is a wealth of information on external environment analysis within health care!!!\n\nGood Luck!!!

The usual example is that of a pond; a self-contained ecosystem.\nNow you need to do your learning and consider how the organisms depend upon one another.

I don't recall any he sold outright, but I remember him allowing logging on federal lands without being subject to federal environmental standards. Here's an article about it:

So, as far as I understand, the question is asking what kind of factors influence the way we use natural resources. Also how changes in our usage of natural resources happen. Advancement in technology over time is a good example as given here because for example we can now recycle many things such as paper or even water and so waste less natural resources in that way. Change in culture or religion could be another one, people from some faiths use as little comfort material as physically possible, they live in harmony with the planet and waste least natural resources. Everything that leads to a change in our lifestyle will indirectly influence/change the way we use natural resources as well. I am listing here technology, culture, religion, social movements (such as the hippie movement in 1960s), political turmoil, war (leads to minimum survival pattern, sparing usage of all resources including natural resources, but at the same time, destruction of natural resources such as forests, clean water by fire and bombs and the like- each of the factors listed here can go both ways like this one I think), economic depression... all these come and go with time and through these and other factors our consumption pattern changes.
