本文在這裡要處理的問題是：大陸的環境保護界如何看待相關於環境保護的「人口管理」問題？他們偏重的地方在哪裡? 幾個在環境保護工作中基本上需落實的地方，是否因為這些作法而陷於空泛？根本的問題發生在哪些地方？最後我們還要列舉幾個實例，檢證我們的說法。本文側重的重點在於關於大陸環境保護工作中的人口管理理論。就生態環境問題而言，人口管理屬於環境管理工作的一個領域，而環境管理工作又是環境保護的一門，所以事實上本文要討論到的地方，僅限於跟人口管理這個主題切入點有關的環境管理理論。其他跟環境管理有關的其他論題，因為大陸的環境管理工作牽涉的範圍太廣、領域太多，我們在這裡不處理。

　　　　　This article will deal with the following questions: How does mainland China's environmental protection leadership view the question concerning population management in relation to environmental protection? What are the particular stresses that have been placed on population management work? Will some major aspects of environmental protection work not be thoroughly fulfilled because of these stresses? What is the root causes for such an outcome? The author will also give some examples to justify his arguments. As far as the ecological environment is concerned, population management is a part of environmental management, which falls under environmental protection. In Mainland China, environmental management involves a wide range of issues, but because of limited space, this article will only examine mainland China's environmental management in relations to population management.
