This report evaluates the environmental quality of the United States. The analysis reveals that wildlife, soil, water, minerals, and living space indices have slid downward from 1969 to 1975. Only air quality slightly improved and timber remained steady. Despite this pessimistic picture, public support for environmental goals is still high. (MR)

Describes trends in the state of the nation's wildlife, minerals, air, water, forests, living space, and soil resources. Positive gains in 1980 are offset by threats to the progress made during the past decade. (WB)

Presented is the Eleventh Annual Environmental Quality Index, a subjective analysis of the state of the nation's natural resources. Resource trends are detailed for wildlife, minerals, air, water, soil living space, and forests. (BT)

Presents a subjective analysis of the status of United States' natural resources, reviewing 1985's key environmental events, problems, and successes. Reports current conditions and/or dilemmas concerning wildlife, air, water, energy, forests, and soils. Provides both a public rating of the quality of life and a priority ranking of environmental…

Presents findings of National Wildlife's annual analysis of the state of the nation's natural resources, subjectively based upon personal interviews, news reports, and the most current scientific studies. Concludes that the status of wildlife, water, living space, and soil is worse with minerals, air, and soil the same. (DC)

This index evaluates the status of the environmental concerns of the past year and suggests ways to deal with these situations. Environmental areas addressed are wildlife, air, minerals, water, forests, soil, and living space. Each is discussed with respect to current legislation, standards, and problems. (MA)

Reviewed are the trends in environmental quality during the ten years between the 1979 Annual Index and the first done in 1969. Included are analyses of trends in wildlife, air, soil, minerals, forests, living space, and water. Major events in the environmental movement are reviewed. (RE)

The National Wildlife Federation's Fifth Environmental Quality (EQ) Index reports a continuing downward trend in the battle against environmental deterioration. All EQ indicators, except air, are lower than the previous year. Also discusses the political factors which tend to inhibit the progress of environmental and conservation efforts. (JR)

Summarized is the status of the environment at the end of 1976. This is the eigth annual EQ Index. Although the year saw real progress on some fronts, the deepening crises of resources, energy, and overall environmental health were more urgent. (RH)
