ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT AND PLANNING
Definition
Environmental planning is defined as "the process of preparing for the environmental pillar of long-term development."
This is a way too limited perspective; instead, see environmental planning as a component of the entire planning process that aims to offer ongoing environmental protection.
Environmental planning is done by a range of agencies other than the key planning agencies.

Importance of Carrying Capacity (CC)
1) Population Growth
As the population drops below carrying capacity, the birth rate grows until births outnumber deaths. When the population is at carrying capacity, the numbers stop fluctuating.
2) Changing Factors
Carrying capacity for a species or populations relies on the amount of available resources, population size and the resources each individual in the population consumes.
3) Patterns
In the first pattern, populations increase quickly while resources and food are abundant but slow as their numbers approach carrying capacity.
In the second pattern, a population grows exponentially and overshoots carrying capacity without leveling off.
4) Human Implications
The question of whether the human species will level off near carrying capacity or "crash" as a species remains to be seen.
