The use of mathematical models in natural resource management has increased greatly over the past two or three decades, both in response to the perceived need for a more careful shepherding of the renewable resource base upon which life itself depends, and also as a result of improvements in analytical and computational techniques. In this review I first describe two classical resource models, one designed for fisheries and the other for forestry. In subsequent sections I describe some of the major directions in which these models have been extended to become more realistic and more useful. I conclude with a call to resource modelers to extend their outlook to encompass global resource issues.
