By Larry Gorenflo, 2002, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) This paper discusses the analysis of human population in the context of conserving biodiversity. It begins with a synopsis of the importance of human activity in conservation and explores the various measures of population that help to understand likely demographic impacts on the natural environment, focusing on a spatial dimension as well as temporal dimension. Finally, the paper analyzes population and related variables in a specific setting of conservation planning, the Sonoran Desert Ecoregion.
