Description
The threats of human activity to human and ecosystem health are diverse and growing. Increasingly, identification, assessment and evaluation of "risk" are being used to establish environmental priorities and standards in management and conservation. This collection of articles from the journal, "The Environmental Professional", provides specific theoretical and practical examples of the interdisciplinary nature of risk problems and the methods used to solve them.
