When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
nature-related / relating to nature / the natural environment
First of all, I think the best thing to do would be to forget about using a single adjective, and use an adjectival expression instead; then you might be able to say, for example 'relating to nature or the environment'; then all you have to do is work that into your list...

: This really doesn't answer Asker's question, which is how to deal with the adjective 'naturelle'.

Tony M
: I think you'll find 'naturelle' is more associated with 'environnementale'; there's quite different specific term used in FR for country planning.

I agree I'd normally expect "aménagement rural/de l'espace/du territoire" etc. Just thought that if it was referring to "environnementale", then there would also be a reference to a non-natural environment too. Just not sure now.

Tony M
: The trouble is, i don't believe that's the meaning here; I believe it is 'to do with Nature' — but the problem Asker is having, I feel sure, is that we don't normally use the adjective 'natural' in that sense in EN.
